Museum of the Homeland War

Turanj is located where bridges over two rivers meet, at the gateway to Karlovac a short distance north. Its strategic importance meant that it bore the brunt of the local fighting during the Croatian War of Independence from 1991 onwards. Also referred to as the Homeland War, it led to the break-up of Yugoslavia and the creation of Croatia. Here, in fields where the conflict would have raged, visitors can now observe the military planes, equipment and weaponry used at the time.
