Ilok Delicium Mundi is a name that befits the town of Ilok, where you will be greeted by a panoramic view of the green sea of the rich vineyards of Srijem. The connection with a long history is already visible in the logo of the event, which is associated with a coin with the image of the last Croatian king, Nikola Iločki.

Nikola was the most famous lord of the town of Ilok, a Croatian magnate from an old Slavonian family. He was also the second most important man in Hungary, after the king. During the reign of Nikola Ilok, Ilok experienced its “golden age”.

The name Delicium Mundi for Ilok was already recognized in Roman times, and after visiting Ilok, visitors will decide for themselves whether it is associated with paradise or the delicious center of the world.
