Summary/Abstract: This paper endeavours to synthesise the major results of the historical and archaeological explorations of the aristocratic town of Garić, one of the biggest mediaeval forts in Croatia, carried out so far. The fort had originally served as the centre of the county bearing the same name, and for controlling the road of king Koloman, which used to connect Hungary via Moslavačka gora with Croatia and Dalmatia. Between 1277 and 1544, it had been the centre of the estate bearing the same name. The paper offers historical background of Garić, the description of its ruins, and the reconstruction of the development of its architectonic structures in the past.
