Ilok, taj stari kraljevski grad uzdiže se iznad Dunava, u području Srijema, okružen obroncima Fruške gore i nepreglednim vinogradima, baštineći svoju bogatu i burnu prošlost. Ime Ilok prvi se put, naime, spominje još 1267. godine, a najpoznatiji vlasnik Iloka bio je Nikola Iločki, u 15. stoljeću, hrvatsko-ugarski velikaš u čije je doba gradska jezgra utvrđena zidinama koje su većinom očuvane, i danas su jedna od znamenitosti Iloka.Ilok je našao svoje mjesto na turističkoj karti Hrvatske, a osim domaćih, taj pitomi gradić na krajnjem hrvatskom istoku sve češće posjećuju i gosti iz europskih zemlja, odlazeći puni dojmova o iločkim ljepotama i moćnom Dunavu, vinu i tamošnjim gastrodelicijama, miru i polaganom ritmu života tamošnjih stanovnika. Ilok, kao najistočnije naselje Republike Hrvatske, često nosi i naziv “mjesta gdje počinje Hrvatska“.Uz Ilok veže se i još jedna zgodna crtica iz povijesti s pitanjem “Zašto crkvena zvona zvone u podne?“. Uobičajena i svakodnevna činjenica da crkvena zvona zvone u podne ima snažnu vezu s Ilokom i Kapistranom. Kada je, naime, vijest o pobjedi kršćanske vojske nad Turcima kod Beograda pod vodstvom Ivana Hunjadija (Sibinjanin Janko), i Kapistrana stigla do tadašnjeg pape u Rimu ovaj je naredio da zazvone sva zvona u to ime i slavu. Taj čin ostao je dio kršćanskog vjerskog rituala i dandanas.

This town has numerous tourist attractions. I enjoyed visiting the Odescalchi castle. Its baroque style just stood out. It had a variety of historical artefacts. The wine cellar in this castle was impressive. It was such a good experience.

The medieval old town of Ilok is so wonderful. I visited this place and aia really learnt a lot about the historical and cultural heritage. This Old Town is quite unique in terms of its history.

I was able to learn and long-practised Christian tradition of bell ringing at noon from this location. The tradition was adopted when the ten Pope ordered the bell to be rang at noon to announce the arrival of soldiers who had fought and won for Christianity against the Ottomans.

The walls of this city have an iconic contribution from the most famous ruler of the land in the 15th century, Nikola ilochki. The walls were built to protect the city and their vineyards from outside attack and invasion. The place is generally serene and calm. I will visit soon

This royal ancient city is very nice and well built with walls as high as ten feet. This fortress was once home to a croatian-hungarian nobleman in the 1200s and it looks as good as new, great preservation techniques on display

I loved walking along the river just outside the town in the morning and evening, it is really a good place to relax. The church was also a calm place to sit around and just take a look at the town. It was worth it
