Culture and history

The Franciscan Church of the Holy Spirit preserves late Romanesque, Gothic, and Ottoman architectural elements. Its richly decorated Romanesque portal from the 13th century is described as one of the largest of its kind in Croatia. The church is also described as the oldest partially preserved church in Požega.

The nave and chancel of the Church of St. Lawrence were built at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century. It is one of the oldest Gothic sacral monuments in Požega to have survived Ottoman rule in Slavonia.

The Požega City Museum was founded in 1924 and is the second-oldest museum in Slavonia. Across eight departments, it manages around 85,000 artifacts, books, and publications. The Diocesan Museum in Požega houses collections of sacred, modern, and contemporary art, as well as ethnographic, graphic, and medal collections.

Grgurevo is a traditional commemorative celebration in Požega that recalls the city's liberation from Ottoman rule on March 12, 1688.
