Stari grad Đurđevac
Tvrđava Stari grad jedinstvena je srednjovjekovna utvrda i kao takva najvažniji je dio kulturne baštine Đurđevca. Nekad je bila okružena močvarom, koja je ujedno bila i njezin prirodni oblik zaštite i spada u utvrdu tipa wasserburg. Gradnja je započela u 14. stoljeću, a kasnije se stoljećima nadograđivala po potrebi. Dodatnu zaštitu pružali su bedemi, stvarajući vanjsko dvorište, čiji su ostaci i danas vidljivi.
Utvrda je imala veliku važnost sredinom 16. stoljeća u vrijeme osmanske invazije.
Legenda govori o dugoj opsadi jake osmanske vojske Ulama-bega i njegovoj namjeri da natjera Đurđevčane, zatočene u Starom gradu, da se predaju gladi. Legenda kaže da su ga đurđevački branitelji nadmudrili, jer su po savjetu starice u turski tabor ispalili top s posljednjim ostatkom hrane, pijetlom - picokom. Zbog te iluzije obilja Ulama-beg odustaje od opsade i napušta bojište, a ime Picok ostavio je Đurđevčanima do danas (kao njegovo prokletstvo).
