Požega je biser "Zlatne doline", smješten u srcu doline okružen Psunjem, Papukom, Krndijom, Diljem i Požeškom gorom. To je grad sa 26.403 stanovnika, s gotovo osam stoljeća pisane povijesti, ali za koji arheološka istraživanja također potvrđuju tragove življenja u predpovijesti.Ovaj se grad prvi put spominje davne 1227. godine, kada je požeška tvrđava postala kraljevsko imanje. Požega je imala važnu ulogu u srednjem vijeku, ali i u modernoj Slavoniji. Sjedište je Požeške županije, turskog sandžaka, a nakon protjerivanja Turaka 1688. godine postao je značajno kulturno središte. Prva slavonska gimnazija osnovana je u Požegi 1699. godine, a od 1763. do 1774. djelovala je i Academia Possegana. Najveću renesansu Požega je doživjela u 18. stoljeću. Požeški obrtnici osnivali su cehove i bili nositelji gospodarskog života grada. U gradu se osnivaju škole, ljekarna, pošta, a počinje i razvoj bankarstva.Naziv “Slavonska Atena” dobiva Požega u 19. stoljeću kad se osnivaju brojna kulturna društva od kojih mnoga i danas djeluju.

very good!!!
Eli
I learned that the first Slovenian gymnasium school in this location was built in 1699 to pay homage to its cultural heritage. The location was a point of civilization for the people of Croatia and played a significant cultural center to the locals.
Nolan
I was awed to learn the history of the location. It has eight centuries of written history with experts claiming there might be life before. It was given the name Slovenian Athens in the 19th century after numerous cultural societies were found.
Margo
The museum had wonderful pieces of art. The guides explained the history very well to us. The geographic location of this town is so wonderful, surrounded by mountain ranges. Its renaissance style was so lovely and amazing.

This town is surrounded by mountains. One could easily opt to go for hiking. The buildings and architectural style of this town could easily tell about its history. The people were so friendly. The accommodation units were so affordable.

This modern town is really unique, it has all the social amenities, the buildings here are of ancient times i felt they really reminded me of the old mafia movies, i also enjoyed the train ride it was a joyful one
Laure
The statues here were really beautiful, the buildings had wonderful colours and the churches were also very beautiful I got a chance to visit the skate park and do a few runs, then later on an evening walk in the beautifully lit streets
