Franciscan Church of St. John the Baptist

Highlight • Religious Site

Built in 1650 on the site of an earlier building, the church of St. John the Baptist is part of the Franciscan monastery in Varaždin. In this complex, there was an infirmary and a pharmacy, so the monastery was part of both the secular and religious life of the city. The pharmacy has a special artistic and historical value: its ceiling is covered with frescoes from the 18th century.

At 54.4 meters, the bell tower of this church is the highest bell tower in Varaždin. The altar of the church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, the astonishing work of art was made according to the design of a Franciscan from Bavaria. It was created by Maribor artists at the end of the 17th century and upon completion was handed over to the church, most likely in 1702. Other works of art on the altar include paintings of various Franciscans, sculptures and decorative elements. The latter was decorated with gilding by the Zagreb painter J. Shidt during a minor renovation in 1715.

Vatroslav Jagić Park

Highlight • Natural

A true floral oasis of peace and greenery in the middle of the city. It's nice to take a walk and relax, in the summer it's a pleasure to sit on a bench in the thick shade.

Varaždin

Highlight • Settlement

The first written reference to Varaždin, whose historical name is Garestin, dates back to August 20, 1181 when King Béla III of Hungary mentioned the nearby thermal springs in an official document. In 1209 the Hungarian king Andrew II of Hungary declared it a free city. Due to the Ottoman raids, the defensive structure of the city developed around the fortress, and acquired the shape of a typical medieval river village. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Knights Hospitallers arrived in Varaždin, where they built the church and a monastery. The city is worth a visit.
