Karlovac is a historical city that has experienced many "renaissance" and peaceful moments throughout its years of existence, but has also very often been the site of wars and various conquests. Its position in the middle of Croatia is its stronghold, and it is not far from reality when it is stated that "all roads lead to Karlovac". In order to preserve the rich history, various institutions of the city work to preserve the heritage through their activities, and the backbone of everything is the Museums of the City of Karlovac. The museum is focused on confirming and enriching the cultural identity of the community, active participation in the cultural life of the city and supporting multidisciplinary cooperation. Apart from the city itself, there is rarely any location in Karlovac that is as historically and memory-layered, and at the same time simply clear and acceptable as Turanj. Since its construction, it has had a very important strategic position and was really the last line of defence of the city during the Homeland War. Therefore, the overall concept of the Museum of the Homeland War is a combination of a historically rich complex with a contemporary and ambient exhibition with an interactive design that together form a truly impressive concept. The concept of dark tourism can be interpreted in two ways. Fascination with accidents and suffering has always existed in the curiosity of every individual, and only certain locations have recognized it as a potential tourist product. Along with the tourist attraction itself, education is also linked and knowledge is expanded, which encourages a more active vacation.
