After last year's guest appearance in Koprivnica during the Renaissance Festival, the exhibition "Star Gates" welcomed this year's "Night of Fortresses" in Slavonski Brod, namely our exhibition "Star Gates" is visiting Gallery Ružić. The exhibition deals with recent archeological and archival research on the star-shaped fortress in Karlovac. The exhibition, through guest appearances in other cities, presents new knowledge about the Karlovac Renaissance fortress, in this case in another fortified city.
In the past 17 years, archaeological excavations were carried out in Karlovac on two occasions at the positions of the historical gates of the Star of Karlovac. It is about the so-called Old and New Gates, which date from the very beginning of the construction of Karlovac (1579), and the Rijeka Gate, which dates from the 1st half of the century. 19th-century Research completed knowledge about the development of the bastion system and the inner city fabric. The most significant finds are the caponier, which we can call the forerunner of the bunker, and which was discovered in Radićeva Street, and the remains of the portal of the New Star Gate in front of the "City Guard" known to Karlovac.
The authors of the exhibition are Igor Čulig and Matea Galetić.
The exhibition can be visited until June 19 during the working hours of the Gallery.
