The town of Ormož, a chessboard of town houses, lies above the surface of the Drava river on the natural terrace shaped by the river for millions of years. Like the king and queen, the nearby castle and the church boldly dictate the game on a slight slope. The town was already inhabited around 2100 BC. As the crossing of the river was the easiest here and the route wide open to all sides, it was a crossroad of important traffic routes. It is this location that has shaped the rich and turbulent history of Ormož. Evidence thereof are archaeological finds and records kept by different institutions, most of them by the Ptuj-Ormož Regional Museum. To fully experience the town, you have to visit the Church of St. Jakob, stroll around the town's streets and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Castle Park with its rare tree species.
