Church of St Peter & Paul


This red-brick neo-Gothic church's 90m-high tower is surpassed in height only by the cathedral in Zagreb and dominates downtown Osijek. Built in the 1890s, the interior has 40 elaborate stained-glass windows in Viennese style and vividly coloured frescos by Croatian painter Mirko Rački.
