City of Zagreb was “born” long before 1094 when for the first time in history its name was mentioned in an official document. Zagreb grew up on two neighboring hills: Kaptol – the center of spiritual life of northwestern Croatia, and Gradec – the commercial center of skillful tradesmen and craftsmen. Nowadays, Zagreb has grown to be a city of one million inhabitants and Croatia’s cultural, spiritual, economic, political and sport center. Visit the Upper Town with Gothic Cathedral, beautifully ornated St. Catherine’s church or massive St. Mark’s church with colored, tiled roof. Medieval Stone Gate and “Dolac” open-air market – these are simply a must. Visitors are also attracted to the Lower Town and its colorful architecture best represented in the building of Croatian National Theater and Opera House.
