History
Ozalj Church St.Vitus
The town was built on a cliff over the Kupa river and the first mention of it dates from 1244, as a free royal town. The Frankopan family owned it since 1398, then it passed to the Zrinski family in 1550, and it stayed theirs until 1671. The city commemorates April 30 as its day, in memory of the event in 1671 when Petar Zrinski and Fran Krsto Frankopan were executed.
The patron saint of the town is St. Vitus, whose saints day is celebrated June 15.
