Ruzica Castle

Description

Ružica Castle is large ruined castle in Virovitica-Podravina County, Croatia. Since the origin of the medieval structure remains unknown, it has become the stuff of legend over the years. It is one of the most picture-perfect places in the country and a must-see for those in search of hidden gems that are far from mass tourism.

The first document of Ružica castle dates from 1357. It lost its military purpose after Turkish occupation in 1543 and was ruined.
