2 3 4 5 6 7 LIKA – KARLOVAC An area with a rich warrior past The region of Lika – Karlovac is the largest of all the regions that lead out to the Adriatic Sea, and it is the biggest and the most sparsely populated part of Croatia. In addition to crude nature, the sparse population of this area has been influenced by its turbulent history, and frequent exposure to a number of wartime devastations, especially in times of battle between the Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Consequently, we can find relatively few historical monuments here, and those which survived are in large part related to the rich military history. This region consists of two Croatian counties - Lika-Senj and Karlovac. The Lika-Senj County encompasses the most historical province of Lika in the mountainous area, the rugged and wild coastline leaning on Lika, and the northern part of the island of Pag. The Karlovac County also covers a part of the Croatian mountains, but in most part it comprises the historical province of Kordun and Pokuplje in Pannonian Croatia. The warrior tradition in this region is supported by the fact that its largest city, Karlovac, was founded as a military fortress, and the name of the historical province Kordun comes from the French name for the area, cordon militaire (Military Frontier). 8 9 37
