Summary/Abstract: From the beginning of the 20th century, Croatian centres were constructed in several Croatian towns of various sizes due to the efforts of the societies of the Croatian Falcon. In the social, cultural and political life of especially the smaller towns, these Croatian centres played a very important role. On the basis of archival sources, newspapers and literature, the author examines the history of the Croatian Centre in Đakovo, from the original initiatives that led to its construction up to the end of the 20th century.
