Music Pavilion in Bjelovar

The Music Pavilion in Bjelovar was built in 1943 on the site of a former modest well, made from the famous white Brač stone—the very same one that adorns the UN lobby in New York and the White House in Washington. A photo in front of the Music Pavilion is just one of the memories you will take home from your vacation in this picturesque town of unusual history and charm. If you rent affordable accommodation in Bjelovar, a pleasant walk to the very heart of the town and Eugen Kvaternik Square will lead you to this most recognizable landmark. In 2015, it was completely renovated and clad in high-quality Plano-Redi stone from the Trogir hinterland, while a portion of the original Brač stone is kept in the nearby Bjelovar City Museum. Today, this impressive monument still boasts the fact that it is the largest stone pavilion in all of Europe. Nestled in the shade of century-old chestnut trees in the central park, the pavilion offers a perfect backdrop for a break. Here you can soak up the rhythm of the town and enjoy the view of the surrounding Baroque statues and the cathedral in the distance. The people of Bjelovar proudly call it their outdoor living room, and if you visit during the spring and summer months, you will likely experience one of the musical performances or cultural events that bring it back to its original purpose. Every step around the Music Pavilion - Bjelovar offers an opportunity to experience the town with all your senses, from a relaxed coffee in neighboring cafés to a walk toward the museum or dairies where you can taste the famous Bilogora specialties.
