At the very entrance to Ilok, a large brown board proclaims the attractions of the town. If it wasn't there, you might think you're entering a town which is no different from any other town along the Danube. After just a hundred meters, the first winery comes into sight. The story of wine is the story of Ilok. Ilok is a wine town, wine is the life of Ilok. In the town center, you can go down the road to the left or to the right, both directions are open to you. If you go right, you'll reach the Lower Town, the part of Ilok by the Danube bank. There you'll see the promenade, a beautiful place for rest and relaxation, together with a beautiful view of Ilok's Medieval center, raised above the Danube, dominant and unwavering in its splendor. You'll reach it if you go left by the road mentioned earlier. This road leads to Ilok's Medieval center. The old fortress with St. John of Capistrano's church is located in the town center, in the lush green of the parks. In the middle of the fortress built in the late 14th and early 15th century are the foundations of St. Peter's parish church, where archaeological research started in 2006, and an archaeological park is to be established here in the near future. The Odescalchi Castle is largely a medieval building, most likely built by Ilok's most famous ruler Nicholas of Ilok. He was the king of Bosnia and minted his own money. Later, the castle underwent many renovations and reconstructions. From 1697, the castle was owned by the Odescalchi family, who encouraged the development of viticulture and the economy in general. For more than a century and a half, Ilok had been ruled by the Turks. They left behind some monuments of Islamic architecture, namely the turbe – the tomb of a prominent Turk, and the hammam – the ceremonial baths. All this can be seen and experienced in a relatively small area, with one monument of exceptional value next to another. To round it off, as a point of relaxation and pleasure, we have saved up the old wine cellar located below the Odescalchi castle. After visiting the centuries-old wine cellar, you can taste the finest Syrmian wines and meet the dawn in the beautiful town on the bank of the Danube. More: www.turizamilok.hr
