Old ruins of Pusta Bela on the top of the hill

Beaitiful green areas around the castle

Nino has already copied a very valuable text about the old town, I would only add that it looks impressive in all seasons and is worth a look. There are signs prohibiting entry on the driveways.

The old city centre is full of buildings in baroque and rococo style. You can stroll around the car-free streets and marvel at the beautiful architecture. Of course, you will also find plenty of terraces and restaurants.

The fortified town of Bela (today Pusta Bela) has been a fortress and the center of the Ivano-Frankivsk population since the beginning of the 13th century. Their presence in this area is confirmed by the charter of Bela IV. from 1238. The Ivan family owned a large complex around Ivančica and Ivanec. The only material proof of the activity of the people of Ivano-Frankivsk is in the transmission of French architectural culture - in the Romanesque castles with a central defense tower that were brought to Croatia almost at the same time as they were created in France. This is confirmed even today by the remains of Pusta Bela, whose ruins preserve visible stone traces of a building with a circular floor plan within the remains of the ramparts. Pusta Bela is located at 430 meters above sea level, from where the passage through Belski dol was controlled. Not much remains of the former center of Ivano-Frankivsk, only the ruins of the city that burned down in 1481.
