Legrad

Legrad is a small town located in northern Croatia, near the confluence of the Mura and Drava rivers. It lies in the Međimurje County. Historically, Legrad held the status of a free royal town, a privilege granted during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The town's significance stems from its geographical position as a border settlement and its historical role in trade and defense.

Legrad is known for its relatively preserved natural environment, particularly the areas surrounding the rivers. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture and small-scale businesses. The population is relatively small and has been declining gradually in recent decades.

The town's infrastructure includes basic amenities such as schools, a post office, and local shops. Culturally, Legrad maintains traditions associated with the Međimurje region, including folk music and local crafts.
