Late-Baroque streetscape
The old centre grew in the eighteenth century, when St Teresa of Ávila Church became its focal point. Construction began in 1754 and finished in 1765; the single-nave church is known for its distinctive pyramidal tower. Nearby, the former Main Guardhouse has open semicircular arcades at ground level, a feature locally called “bolte.” The streets around the square retain a late-Baroque character.
Park and civic buildings
The central City Park began with a formal French-inspired layout and was later reshaped in the style of an English landscape garden. Its network of paths leads to the Three Graces Fountain, a 1978 sculpture by Vinko Fabris. Nearby, the late nineteenth-century Nova Gradiška Grammar School adds a different architectural note. Together, park, church and civic buildings form an easy walking circuit through the historic core.
