It is located in the center of the town of Makarska, Croatia, on Andrija Kačić Miošić Square.The former cathedral was built in the Baroque style in 1700 as the cathedral of the then diocese of Makarska at the initiative of the Bishop of Makarska, Nikola Bijanković, but was never completely finished. In 1756, the cathedral was consecrated by a later Bishop of Makarska, Stjepan Blašković. In 1828 Makarska diocese became part of the united Archdiocese of Split-Makarska, with the diocesan cathedral based in Split. The façade, facing southwest, is decorated with two simple mullioned windows and a smaller Gothic-style oculus. On the right side from the entrance to the co-cathedral is the altar, which houses the bones of the patron saint of the city of Makarska and the diocese, St. Clement. The bones were brought to the co-cathedral from the Roman catacombs in 1725. On the left side from the entrance to the co-cathedral is the altar dedicated to Virgin Mary, and over it a small altar dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, decorated with the painting on wood of a Virgin and Child, painted by a master from the Byzantine school. The small altar, according to its locals, was built during the plague that hit Makarska in 1815. The second altar on the left is the altar of St. Cross. It is dedicated to the Calvary, and is decorated with the life-size wooden statues. The Co-Cathedral was badly damaged during the large earthquake that hit Makarska in 1962. The renovation of the co-cathedral's interior changed its original appearance. The main altar, work of Venetian masters, was moved to the province Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. Earthquake also damaged the choir. New organs, work of the Slovenian company Jenko, were installed in 1970.

Bjelovar Synagogue (Izraelitički templ) is a former synagogue in Bjelovar, Croatia, which is currently a cultural center. The first Jewish temple in Bjelovar was built in 1882. During the years number of Jews in Bjelovar increased, so the current temple could no longer meet the needs of Jewish community Bjelovar. The idea of building the new synagogue dates to 1913, when general assembly of the Jewish community Bjelovar, under president Jaša Hržić, decided to build a new, large and attractive synagogue. At the time, around 500 Jews lived in Bjelovar. According to calculations the synagogue construction cost 160,000 Austro-Hungarian krone. Synagogue was designed by Hönigsberg & Deutsch architect Otto Goldscheider. Construction began in 1913, and in 1917 the Art Nouveau Bjelovar Synagogue was completed. Bjelovar Synagogue was consecrated by Bjelovar chief rabbi Samuel D. Tauber and Virovitica chief rabbi H. E. Kauffmann. Torah transfer from the old synagogue to new took place on 15 August 1917. The rabbi was Lazar Margulies. During World War II, almost all Bjelovar Jews were killed during the Holocaust. The synagogue was robbed and left devastated. After the war, Bjelovar Synagogue was turned into a theater in 1951. Domes and religious characteristics on the synagogue were removed; only the Star of David was left in the interior upper floor. Today, Bjelovar Synagogue serves as a home of culture.

Bjelovar-Bilogora County (pronounced [bjêloʋaːr-bîloɡora]; Croatian: Bjelovarsko-bilogorska županija [bjêloʋaːrsko-bîloɡorskaː ʒupǎnija]) is a county in central Croatia. The central city of Bjelovar was first mentioned in 1413, and it only gained importance when a new fort was built in 1756 to defend against the Ottoman invasions. The town was pronounced a free royal town in 1874. The other part of the county name is for the hill of Bilogora that stretches along the northern edge of the county. Other towns in the county are Daruvar, Garešnica, Čazma, and Grubišno Polje. The Bjelovar-Bilogora County borders on the Koprivnica-Križevci County in the north, Virovitica-Podravina County in the northeast, Požega-Slavonia County in the southeast, Sisak-Moslavina County in the southwest, and Zagreb County in the west. Alongside the City of Zagreb and Požega-Slavonia County, it is the only Croatian county that does not border another nation.

The Bjelovar-Križevci County (Croatian: Bjelovarsko-križevačka županija; Hungarian: Belovár-Kőrös vármegye) was a historic administrative subdivision of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. Croatia-Slavonia was an autonomous kingdom within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (Transleithania), the Hungarian part of the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its territory is now in northern Croatia. Belovár and Kőrös are the Hungarian names for the cities Bjelovar and Križevci, respectively. The capital of the county was Bjelovar.

Bjelovar (Hungarian: Belovár, German: Bellowar, Czech: Bělovar or Bělovár, Kajkavian: Belovar, Latin: Bellovarium) is a city in central Croatia. It is the administrative centre of Bjelovar-Bilogora County as well as one of the youngest cities in Croatia, officially founded in the year 1756.

The siege of Bjelovar Barracks, also known by the codename Operation Bilogora (Croatian: Operacija Bilogora), was the blockade and capture of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) barracks and other facilities in and around the city of Bjelovar, a part of the JNA 32nd (Varaždin) Corps, during the Croatian War of Independence. A general blockade of the JNA facilities in Croatia was ordered on 14 September 1991, and it continued until 29 September when the JNA garrison was captured by Croatian forces. Its capture occurred one week after the bulk of the 32nd Corps surrendered. It was part of the Battle of the Barracks—an effort by Croatian armed forces to isolate JNA units based at barracks in Croatia, or capture the barracks to provide arms for Croatia's nascent army. The fighting resulted in the capture of a substantial stock of weapons, including 78 tanks, 77 infantry fighting vehicles and 13 artillery pieces greater than 100-millimetre (3.9 in) caliber. The clash also caused considerable damage to the city of Bjelovar and its surroundings due to artillery fire and the explosion of an ammunition storage depot on the outskirts of the city. The fighting erupted despite a ceasefire that had been arranged days before, and caused JNA General Veljko Kadijević to withdraw from negotiations regarding the ceasefire's implementation. He subsequently issued an ultimatum to Croatian authorities, warning against the capture of further JNA facilities.
