Presentation of Virovitica

The town of Virovitica (22,618 inhabitants in 2011, 14,663 in the town of Virovotica) is located in the north-western part of Slavonia. Much important historically, it has lost much of its influence in modern time. Thr County formed in northern Slavonia after the liberation from the Turks was named after it, even if the capital was already set to Osijek.
