Pozega played an important role in the Middle Ages, but also in modern Slavonia. It is the seat of Pozega County, the Ottoman sanjak, and after the expulsion of the Ottomans in 1688, it became a significant cultural center. The first Slavonian gymnasium school was founded in Pozega in 1699, and from 1763 to 1774 the Academia Possegana also operated. Pozega experienced its greatest renaissance in the 18th century. Pozega craftsmen founded guilds and were the bearers of the economic life of the city. Schools, a pharmacy, a post office were established in the city, and the development of banking began.The name "Slavonian Athens" was given to Pozega in the 19th century when numerous cultural societies were founded, many of which are still active today.

On top of that, this is a better place in terms of economic activities as the craftsmen had introduced guilds in the city. We got an opportunity to visit the nearby schools for benchmarking. It is one of the developed city that I will have to come back.

I enjoyed touring this place which had all social amenities I wanted. The pharmacy in town was well stocked, there was a school and a post office. I wrote a letter to my mum and told her how wonderful this place was. I took pictures at the school and enjoyed playing with the children.

The wineries at this place were amazing. I passed through thousands of vine trees just enjoying the cool atmosphere and listening to birds sing their sweet songs. I was invited to a wine tasting function and I ended up buying a bottle. It was a great experience.
