1 CENTRAL CROATIA Empire of Baroque churches and palaces and medieval fortresses and castles Due to the unusual shape of the country, central Croatia actually extends to the Northwest of the national territory. Yet it is central because it is situated between two other large units - the mountain part at the Southwest, through which it goes towards the sea, and Slavonia in the East. Perhaps the more important reason for which it is called central is that it is the most densely populated part of Croatia, where nearly half of its population live. It is also by far the largest tourist region and is made up of seven counties (Zagreb, Krapina-Zagorje, Varaždin, Međimurje, Koprivnica - Križevac, Bjelovar - Bilogora and Sisak - Moslavina), which like rings surround the Croatian capital city, Zagreb. The high population density and the abundance of cultural heritage are due to the fact that this part of Croatia was mostly spared from the devastation of wars in the past. Therefore, in central Croatia, there are many well preserved medieval urban complexes, 44
