Vrpolje is located about 30 km east of Slavonski Brod, about half way between the highway and Đakovo. It has about 4,000 inhabitants.
Vrpolje is probably best known as the birth place of the great Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović, whose works include number of monumental sculpures and complexes in former Yugoslavia and in the USA, to mention Indians in Chicago, the Unknown Hero tomb on Avala in Belgrade, the Njegoš Mausoleum on Lovćen (shown on the coat of arms of Socialist Montenegro), Grgur Ninski in Split; the Artists' Pavilion in Zagreb. There is a museum in Vrpolje with large collection of his works, too.
