DJAKOVO (sometimes written Djakovar, Hungarian Diakovdr)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 348 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DJAKOVO (sometimes written Djakovar, Hungarian Diakovdr) , a city of Croatia-Slavonia,
Hungary
 ; in the county of Virovitica, loo m. E. by S. of Agram. Pop. (1900) 6824.
Djakovo
  is a Roman Catholic episcopal see, whose occupant bears the title " Bishop of Bosnia, Slavonia and Sirmium." During the life of Bishop Strossmayer (18151905) it was one of the
chief
  centres of religious and political activity among the Croats. The cathedral, a vast basilica built of brick and white stone, with a central
dome
  and two lofty spires above the north entrance, was founded in 1866 and consecrated in 1882. Its style is Romanesque, chosen by Strossmayer as symbolical of the position of his country midway between
east
  and west. The interior is magnificently decorated with mosaics, mural paintings and statuary, chiefly the
work
  of local artists. Other noteworthy buildings are the nunnery, ecclesiastical seminary and episcopal palace.
Djakovo
  has a thriving trade in agricultural produce. Many Roman remains have been discovered in the neighbourhood, but the earliest mention of the city is in 1244, when
Bela
  IV. of
Hungary
  confirmed the title-deeds of its owners, the bishops of Bosnia.
For a full description of the cathedral, in Serbo-Croatian and French, see the finely illustrated folio Stolna Crkva u Djakovu, published by the South Slavonic
Academy
  (Agram, 1900).
