KNOWLEDGE OF Gospic
Gospić is a town in the mountainous and sparsely populated region of Lika, Croatia. It is the administrative centre of Lika-Senj county with a population of 5,695 (2005), while its entire municipality is populated by 12,980 inhabitants (2001), making it the third smallest town that is also the seat of a county government in the country.
Gospić is located on the Lika river in the middle of a karst field.
The first organized inhabitation of the area was recorded in 1263 as Kaseg or Kasezi. The name Gospić was first mentioned in 1604, which likely originates in the Croatian word for "Lady", "Gospa" or another archaic form, "Gospava".
Today's town was built around two Ottoman forts (the towers of aga Senković and of aga Alić). The Turkish incursion was repelled by the end of the 17th century and Gospić became an administrative centre of the Lika region within the Military Frontier.
The Gospić municipality was the birthplace of such great men as the physicist and engineer Nikola Tesla, and also national thinkers like Ante StarÄ?ević.
