In the very center of Petrinja, there is almost no building that has not been demolished or whose roof has not collapsed after the devastating earthquake of 6, 2 according to Richter, which hit Sisak-Moslavina County on December 29, 2020.

Most of the buildings within the cultural and historical ensemble of Petrinja were damaged and some cultural assets were, unfortunately, completely destroyed. The center of Petrinja is one of the most valuable historic al cores of continental Croatia and is a protected historical ensemble and the city center itself suffered the most during these earthquakes.

Some of the historic buildings on dr. Franjo Tuđman square, built at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, have the status of individually protected cultural property and represent valuable examples of late baroque and classicist architecture. These are the old buildings that define Dr. Franjo Tuđman Square, within which is the green heart of the city, the city center, the Park of Josip Juraj Strossmayer. It is a city park with ornamental plants and rare trees, which is protected in the category of garden architecture. One of the most demolished buildings is the Petrinja High School and the Elementary School leaning against it. With its 160-year tradition, the high school in Petrinja is one of the oldest educational institutions in the Sisak-Moslavina County. The big humanitarian action for the reconstruction of Petrinja High School under the slogan "Together we can do everything", enables the renovation of the facility and the construction of a new school at another location.

The reconstruction of Petrinja should be seen as an opportunity and a challenge for Petrinja to get something new and added value built into the vision of the past.
