Abstract
This work anayses the spatial structure of the Bjelovar urban core and its role in the town spatial structure in the period from the foundation of Bjelovar to these days. The emphasis is on its functional and morfological structures. Bjelovar has been fouded as a military town, and the strategic interests of its fouders determined its form, size and historical development.
These days the urban core area has a double function in the town spatial structure: as an area of prominent concentration of the central place functions (government, education, etc.) it represents the primary town centre, and as an originally built urban entity with a series of edifices of monumental and ambience value, it represents a protected area of the cultural-historical heritage of the town.
