Daruvar is a spa town and municipality in Slavonia, northeastern Croatia, with a population of 8,567. The area including the surrounding villages (Daruvarski Vinogradi, Doljani, Donji Daruvar, Gornji Daruvar, Lipovac Majur, Ljudevit Selo, Markovac, and Vrbovac) had a population of 11,633 in 2011.
It is located in the foothills of Papuk mountain and along the Toplica River. The main political and cultural centre of the Czech national minority in Croatia, Daruvar has a winemaking tradition reportedly dating back more than 2,000 years.
Daruvar is located 125 km from Zagreb, the national capital, and 130 km from Osijek, the main city of Slavonia to the east. The closest cities are Pakrac, Lipik, Novska, Križevci, Bjelovar, and Virovitica.
Daruvar is located in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. In 2021, the town had 10,105 residents in the following 9 settlements:
Its name is a conjunction of the Hungarian words daru (English: crane (bird)) and vár (English: castle).
Archaeological findings here of stone axes can be traced to the Stone Age. The history of Daruvar can be traced to the 4th century BC, when the first organized habitation developed near the warm geothermal spas in today's Daruvar valley. Celtic - Pannonian tribes living here and familiar with water treatments benefiting health, were Iassi, (meaning healers), so called by both Greek and Roman writers.
As allies of the Roman Empire, the tribes provided support to Emperor Augustus during the siege of Siscia (today's Sisak). In the year 35CE, Iassi were granted local autonomy known as Res Publica Iasorum. The center was Aquae Balissae, meaning very strong springs.
In the year 124, during the reign of Hadrian, the area gained additional autonomy as Municipium Iassorum. Stretching between the rivers Sava and Drava, on the roads which ran between Siscia-Mursa, (Sisak- Osijek), Salona–Aquincum, and Sirmium–Poetovio, the town was easy to access. After Hadrian, emperors Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, Septimius Severus, and Constantine I all visited Aquae Balissae's thermal complex, its decorated temple, its forum, and its amphitheatre (although it was smaller than the one in Pula).
