Traditional songs of Petrinja

Petrinja is a town in central Croatia near Sisak in the historic region of Banovina. It is administratively located in Sisak-Moslavina County.

​

The name of Petrinja has its roots in Greek πέτρα - pétra, meaning "stone" through Latin petrus. It is said that the town existed in Roman era in the area of Zrinska Gora, which is very rich in stone.

​

On December 29, 2020, the town was hit by a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 Mw, causing significant damage to the town.

​

We aren't able to save the houses and the buildings,  but we are able to save the culture and rich music heritage of our hometown.

​

That's why I am dedicating this small corner of my webpage to spread our traditional songs and melodies. Enjoy!
