St. Mark's Church (Crkva sv. Marka) is well known for its multicouloured coats of arms on the roof. They represent Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia. The 14th century church had to be reconstructed various times, so that not much is left from the original building.

The wide Austro-Hungarian styled Jelacic Square (Trg Bana Jelacica) is the busy heart of Zagreb. It is the place where I went first to feel the big city atmosphere. In the middle of the square a monumental horse statue can be found. The surrounding buildings represent several architectural styles (Classicism, Secession, Modernism). Directions:The Jelacic Square is located in the centre of Zagreb just between the Upper and the Lower Town.

The medieval Lotrscak Tower was built in the 13th century to protect the city gates. For more than a hundred years a cannon was fired from the tower, giving the citizens of Zagreb the chance to check their watches. There are still rumours that Croatians are always 3-5 minutes late .... :o)

Zagreb's main landmark is the Cathedral of the Assumption. The original church was badly damaged by sieges of the Tartars and by an earthquake. The two impressive bell towers (104 and105 m) were erected in Neo-Gothic style at the beginnig of the 20 th century. Unfortunately, nowadays the cathedral seems to be under permanent reconstruction.

So you missed the match but saw so much of Zagreb :) I would like the architecture and the parks - maybe on day I too can wander here! | jo104 Thu Nov 15, 2007 20:35 UTC
A great page on Zagreb, I fancy some of that yummy cake now but I'm not allowed :-( | zaffaran Wed Oct 3, 2007 20:49 UTC
As usually, I enjoyed your page very much. Very informative! Greetings from Gdynia- we still keep smiling. :-)) | toonsarah Thu Sep 20, 2007 19:09 UTC
Have thoroughly enjoyed reading about and seeing Zagreb with you. I like the sound of a Kremsnita and coffee, and perhaps even more a Ozujsko Pivo! Great night shots too, and how nice of that guard to let you see the stadium :) |
