    1. INTRODUCTION

    The city of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, on the historic and political threshold between

    East and West, illustrates both the continental and Mediterranean spirit of the nation it

    spearheads. Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, economic, political and administrative centre of

    the Republic of Croatia, and is home to the Croatian Parliament, Government and President.

    Its favourable location between the Pannonian plain, the edge of the Alps and the Dinaric

    range has allowed it to become a crossing point for mass international communication. The

    city is protected from the cold northern winds by the mountain of Medvednica and opens up

    to the rest of the world thanks to the a spacious plain and the Sava river.

    Zagreb, with a population of nearly one million, contains almost a quarter of the entire

    population of Croatia. Over the centuries, the city was inhabited by people coming from all

    over Europe; and, in recent years, by people coming from different parts of Croatia, ensuring

    a rich cultural life. Zagreb is a safe city whose doors are always open; a city with a

    tumultuous history teeming with interesting personalities; a city that warmly invites all those

    who wish to get to know it, and a city that will surely fulfill your expectations. In this city,

    you can easily meet remarkable people, make new friends and enjoy special moments.

    The facades of Zagrebs buildings reflect the ebb and flow of history, while its streets and

    squares bear witness to the coming together of the many cultures that have shaped the identity

    of this laid-back capital. The best thing to do is when you first arrive is to take in Zagrebs

    wonderful atmosphere, which, as many claim, is only surpassed by the legendary beauty of

    the local womenfolk.

    2. A BRIEF HISTORY OF ZAGREB

    Zagrebs known history begins with two hills. Kaptol, now the site of Zagrebs

    cathedral, was a thriving canonical settlement in the 11th century while another small

    settlement was developing on nearby Gradec hill. Both were devastated by the Mongol

    invasion of 1242.

    In order to attract foreign artisans to the ruined region, King Bela walled Gradec and turned it

    into a sort of royally controlled fiscal paradise (tax haven) with numerous privileges. Kaptol

    remained unprivileged, unwalled and under the churchs jurisdiction. As the centuries rolled

    on, a ruinous rivalry developed between the two towns that frequently descended into

    violence and near-warfare.

    On a number of occasions, the bishops of Kaptol excommunicated the entire town of Gradec,

    which responded by looting and burning Kaptol. The two communities put aside their quarrels

    only when their commercial interests united them, such as during the annual fairs that brought

    merchants and money to the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, there were only three big fairs a

    year.

    In the middle of the 15th century, the Turks got as far as the Sava River, prompting the bishop

    to finally fortify Kaptol. By the mid-16th century, the Turks had taken much of the

    surrounding territory, but not the two hill towns. Both towns lost their economic importance

    by the beginning of the 17th century and, out of self-preservation, merged into one town

    which was called Zagreb.

    Zagreb emerged as the capital of the tiny Croatian state largely because there were few townsleft standing after the Turkish onslaught. The commercial life of the city stagnated during the

    ensuing two centuries of warfare, compounded by fires and plague. In 1756, the seat of

    Croatian government fled from Zagreb to Varadin, where it remained until 1776. By the end

    of the 18th century, there were a mere 2800 residents of Zagreb, of whom the majority were

    German or Hungarian.

    Meanwhile, the plain below the fortified hill towns became a commercial centre when thespace now known as Trg Josip Jelaia was chosen as the site of Zagrebs lucrative trade

    2

    6/19

    fairs. The new marketplace spurred construction around its edges that increased as the Turkish

    threat receded in the 18th century. The straight streets running south of Trg Josip Jelaia

    provided an important link between Zagreb and other villages on and beyond the Sava River.

    In the 19th century, Zagreb finally came into its own. The economy expanded with the

    development of a prosperous clothing trade, a steam mill and a tannery. A rail link to Vienna

    and Budapest connected Zagreb to important markets. The citys cultural and educational life

    also blossomed with the opening of the Music Institute, a theatre, the Croatian Academy of

    Arts & Sciences and the University of Zagreb. Zagreb also became the centre for the Pan-

    Slavic Illyrian movement that was pressing for south-Slavic unification, greater autonomy

    within the Austro-Hungarian Empire and recognition of the Slavic language. Count Janko

    Drakovi, lord of Trakoan Castle, published a manifesto in Illyrian in 1832 and his call for

    national revival resounded throughout Croatia.

    Drakovis call came to fruition when Croatia and its capital joined the Kingdom of Serbs,

    Croats and Slovenes after WWI. Between the two world wars, working-class neighbourhoods

    emerged in Zagreb between the railway and the Sava River and new residential quarters were

    built on the southern slopes of Mt Medvednica. In April 1941, the Germans invaded

    Yugoslavia and entered Zagreb without resistance. Ante Paveli and the Ustae moved

    quickly to proclaim the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Drava

    Hrvatska) with Zagreb as its capital. Although Paveli ran his fascist state from Zagreb until

    1944, he never enjoyed a great deal of support within the capital, which consistently

    maintained support for Titos Partisans.

    In postwar Yugoslavia, Zagreb (to its chagrin) clearly took second place to Belgrade, but the

    city continued to expand. The area south of the Sava River developed into a new district, NoviZagreb, with residential blocks, Pleso airport and the Zagreb fairgrounds.

    Zagreb was made the capital of Croatia in 1991, the same year that the country became

    independent.1

    3. BAN JELAI SQUARE

    Central focus of modern Zagreb is Ban Jelai Square (Trg bana Jelaia). Situated

    just below the hillside settlements of Kaptol and Gradec, it has served as the citys

    commercial heart ever since 1641, when it was designated as a place where fairs could be

    held. Most of the buildings around the square date from the 19th century, and display a variety

    of architectural styles, from Biedermaier to Art Nouveau and Post-modernism. The square

    was Zagrebs main marketplace and carried the name Harmica (Hungarian for one

    thirtieth), after the tax levied on the goods square was officially renamed in honour of Ban

    (Governor) Josip Jelai. After World War II the name of the square was changed to

    Republic Square, only to return to its previous title in 1990. Ban Jelai Square stands at the

    centre of Zagrebs social life and the most popular meeting points are under the clock on

    the west side of the square, and under the horses tail a reference to the equestrian statue

    of Ban Jelai in the squares centre.

    3.1. Ban Josip Jelai

    The statue of Ban Josip Jelai is the work of the Austrian sculptor Anton Fernkorn. It

    was placed on the square in 1866, only to be removed by the communist authorities in 1947.

    In 1990 a public petition secured the return of the statue, and it was unveild on October 16th

    Ban Jelais birthday. Originally placed facing northwards in order to symbolize the Bans

    defence of Croatias rights against Austria and Hungary, the statue now faces south to provide

    a better balance to the layout of the square.

    3.2. The Manduevac Fountain

    The Manduevac Fountain was built above a natural spring that provided Zagreb with

    drinking water right up until the end of the 19th century. Court records about the persecution of

    witches mention the spring as their main meeting point. There is also a legend connecting the

    spring with the name of the city. Namely, one sunny day an old Croatian war leader was

    4

  • 7/30/2019 Zagreb as a tourist destination

    8/19

    returning from battle tired and thirsty, and asked a beautiful girl Manda to scoop up some

    water from the spring for him. The Croatian word for to scoop up water is zagrabiti. So

    the spring got the name Manduevac, after the girl, and the town got the name Zagreb after

    the scoop of water.

    4. THE UPPER TOWN (KAPTOL)

    The centre of Zagreb is divided on two parts; one of them is The Upper Town and the

    second is The Lower Town. One of the most important features in The Upper Town is the

    Cathedral.

    4.1.1. The Cathedral

    Characterized by its soaring twin towers, the Cathedral of the Assumption of the

    Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the Zagrebs defining symbols. Although it is a largely Neo-

    Gothic structure dating from the late 19th century, its origins are much older.

    The Zagreb bishopric was established in 1094, and construction of the cathedral started soon

    afterwards. An early Gothic sanctuary with polygonal apse was added at the end of the 13th

    century, while the nave was modified and heightened during the 14th and 15th centuries. The

    expansions of the Ottoman Empire put Zagreb within range of enemy raids, and the cathedral

    was fortified by adding a turreted outer wall. Once the danger of invasion has passed, a single

    bell-tower was built in the 17th century. At that time the Baroque became the most prevalent

    style, which is today borne out by the richly decorated altars.

    During the 18th century the defensive bastions on the south and east were reconstructed to

    form a monumental bishops palace. A huge earthquake in 1880 did enormous damage to the

    cathedral, and it was reconstructed along Neo-Gothic lines, a style that was popular across

    Europe at that time. Local architect Hermen Bolle was in charge of the project, although the

    blueprints were provided by Austrian designer Friedrich von Schmidt. Thus the cathedral took

    5

  • 7/30/2019 Zagreb as a tourist destination

    9/19

    on its present-day shape with its slender 105-metre-high towers dominating the Zagreb

    skyline. There is no consensus about the height among the inhabitants of the city.2

    4.1.2. Renaissance Walls

    The cathedrals defensive walls with round towers were built when the threat from the

    Ottoman Turks was at its height. The walls were built in record time between 1512 and 1521.

    One tower was demolished during the 19th century rebuilding of the cathedral to provide an

    unobstructed view of the cathedral. These changes aside, the walls remain among the best-

    preserved Renaissance defences in Europe.

    4.2. Dolac

    Open-air food markets make up one of Zagrebs most attractive features. Almost every

    district in the city has one, although the most famous one is Dolac, close to the cathedral.

    Here people sell fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish every day of the week. This bustling

    place is affectionately known as the belly of Zagreb, due to the mouth-watering array of

    irresistible foodstuffs brought here from all parts of Croatia. The market dates from the early

    20th century, when the city authorities decided to tear down all houses on Dolac to make room

    for a mdern marketplace on three levels.

    4.3 Tkalieva

    Undoubtedly Zagrebs most colourful downtown street, Tkalieva (commoly known

    as Tkala) is built along the course of the former Medveak creek, traditional boundary

    between the settlements of Kaptol and Gradec. Everything to the east of the creek belonged to

    church-controlled Kaptol, while the west side belonged to the secular Gradec. Most of

    6

  • 7/30/2019 Zagreb as a tourist destination

    10/19

    Zagrebs watermills were concentrated around the creek, and in the 18th century it became the

    site of workshops producing cloth, soap, paper and liquers. The creek was paved over at the

    end of the 19th century, creating a street that quickly became the animated centre of

    commercial activity and nightlife. Today people of all ages come to Tkala for its small

    boutiques, traditional shops, restaurants and cafes.

    4.4. The Stone Gate

    One enters the Upper Town through the Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata in Croatian), the

    only old town gate that has remained intact. Built in the Middle Ages, it assumed its finalform after being rebuilt in the 18th century. Under the arch of the gateway is a chapel

    dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It holds a painting of the Virgin that was miraculously saved

    from a devastating fire in the year 1731, and the chapel has been a place of pilgrimage ever

    since. The Virgin Mary is the patron saint of Zagreb and Her feast day on May 31 is also the

    date of the annual city holiday.

    4.5.1. St Marks Square

    St Marks Square (Trg svetog Marka) constitutes the heart of the Upper Town, having

    formerly served as the main market square of the settlement of Gradec. Dominating the square

    is the 13th century Church of St Mark, a three-aisled Romanesque church which still retains

    much of its original shape. The Gothic arched ceiling and the sanctuary were added in the late

    14th century, along with the fifteen statues that stand in niches above the southern portal. Someof the statues were made by masters from the Parler workshop in Prague in around 1420. The

    church was substantially rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style by Herman Bolle at the end of the

    19th century. The roof tiles, decorated with the coats of arms of the Triune Kingdom of

    Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia and the city of Zagreb also date to this period. The interior

    was restored between 1936 and 1938 by the sculptor Ivan Metrovi and the painter Jozo

    Kljakovi. Metrovis work in the curch includes the large crucifix above the main altar, the

    Pieta in the apse and a silver cross, as well as the Madonna portrayed as a village woman inthe south apse. Kljakovis murals in the main body of the church portray scenes from The

    7

  • 7/30/2019 Zagreb as a tourist destination

    11/19

    Old and The New Testaments, while in the adjacent chapel of St Fabian and Sebastian they

    focus on themes from Croatian history.

    4.5.2. Banski dvori

    The Banski dvori or Governors Palace at St Mark Square 1 is the seat of the

    Croatian Government and also houses the office of the Prime Minister. The palace was built

    in the beginning of the 19th century and was home to the Croatian bans (governors) from 1808

    to 1918. The legendary Ban Josip Jelai lived and died here.

    4.5.3. Sabor

    The Croatian Sabor or Parliament has hel its sessions at this location ever since 1737.

    The current building dates from the beginning of the 20th century. It was here that members

    voted to sever political ties from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918 and from Yugoslavia

    in 1991.

    5. THE LOWER TOWN

    The second part of the Zagrebs centre is The Lower Town. Here are some of the most

    important features in The Lower Town.

    5.1. 1. King Tomislav Square

    A monument dedicated to Tomislav, Croatias first king, dominates the square

    carrying his name. This courageous warrior defended the continental part of Croatia from

    Hungarian attacks and for the first time united all Croatian lands into one country. Tomislav

    successfully sought papal recognition of his realm, and was crowned as king in the year 925.

    Despite dying mysteriously three years later, his statue as founder of the Croatian state has

    never been in doubt. The statue of Tomislav on horseback was completed by sculptor Robert

    Frange Mihanovi in 1983, although protracted political difficulties and the outbreak of

    World War II prevented the statue from being installed in its current location until 1947.

    5.1.2. The Main Railway Station

    The railway arrived in Zagreb in 1862, connecting the 40,000-strong city to the

    economic and cultural centres of Vienna and Budapest. Built in 1892, the station building was

    designed by Hungarian architect Ferenc Pfaff, something of a specialist when it came to

    railway stations. Incorporating a mixture of Renaissance and Neo-classical elements, it is a

    fine addition to the parade of buildings that lies along the route of Lenucis Horseshoe.

    Travellers coming out of the railway station are confronted with one of the most beautiful

    views in Zagreb, which takes in the Statue of King Tomislav, the Art Pavilion, the cathedrals

    spires and the green slopes of Mount Medvednica in the distance.

    9

  • 7/30/2019 Zagreb as a tourist destination

    13/19

    5.1.3. The Art Pavilion

    Marking the northern end of King Tomislav Square is the Art Pavilion, originally built

    to serve as the Croatian Pavilion at the Budapest Millennial Exhibition of 1986. Constructed

    using the latest in metal frame techniques, the pavilion was disassembled at the end of the

    Budapest exhibition, transported to Zagreb by train, and re-erected at its current location. The

    ceremonial opening took place in 1898 accompanied by a grand exhibition of contemporary

    artists. The pavilion was Zagrebs first dedicated space for art shows, and has been an

    important venue for high-profile exhibitions ever since.

    5.1.4. Hotel Esplanade

    The hotel is close to the main railway station and was built in very short time in 1925.

    The original purpose of the hotel was to provide top-notch accommodation for passengers on

    the Orient Express, the luxurious service linking Paris and Istanbul and which used Zagreb as

    one of the stops. Many celebrity guess stayed at the hotel, which became an important centre

    for society events. The Zagreb public was particularly intrigued by the performance of aprovocative dancer Josephine Baker in 1929, when several virtuous local ladies expressed

    their disapproval. It was also here that Zagrebs first beauty contest was held in 1926, with the

    winner going on to be crowned Miss Europe in the following year.

    5.2.1. The Croatian National Theatre

    The Croatian National Theatre is located on Marshal Tito Square. Well-known

    Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Herman Helmer, who designed forty other

    European thetres, were responsible for the plan for the building, employing a rich Neo-

    Baroque style was at the time thought most suitable for theatres. Officially opened in 1885,

    the building brings the national opera, ballet and drama companies together under a single

    roof. With a repertoire that ranges from classic to contemporary pieces, and with both

    Croatian and international works well represented, the theatre occupies a central place in thecultural life of the capital.

    10

    14/19

    5.2.2. Zagreb University

    Running along the north side of the square is the main administrative building of

    Zagreb University. Founded in 1669, its is the oldest university in Croatia, and also one the

    oldest in Europe. It currently consists of 29 faculties, three academies and one university

    centre. The administrative building, built in the 19th century, was originally used as hospital,

    and for a time even served as a tobacco factory. In front of the entrance is Ivan Metrovis

    History of the Croats, a seated figure a woman which eloquently symbolizes the calm

    strength of the nation. The sculpture was placed here in 1971, and has served as a popular

    patriotic symbol ever since.

    5.2.3. The Mimara Museum

    Built in the late 19th century to serve as a high school, the Neo- Renaissance place on

    Roosevelt Square holds the wide ranging collections of the Mimara Museum. The museum

    was founded to display the artworks donated by private collector Ante Topi Mimara, and

    was first opened to the public in 1897. The permanent exhibition at the museum is organized

    into a chronological sequence of historical periods, from the times of ancient Egypt and

    Greece to paintings and drawings by great masters like Raphael, Velasquez, Rubens,

    Rembrandt and Goya. The museums glass collection offers a wonderful insight into the

    changing artistic values of the glass-making trade over the centuries.

    6. MEDVEDNICA

    The forested slopes of Mount Medvednica (often referred to by the name of its

    summit, Sljeme) provide a retreat into nature a tram ride away from the hearth of the city.

    Hiker can choose among well-marked paths leading to mountain lodges (planinarski dom )

    serving cheep, fresh and hearty food . Medvednica Nature Park is haven for plant and animals

    species,cultural and geological rarities. For example, the Veternica cave lies in a 10km2 karnt

    landscape rich in rock formations. The main caern is over 2km long,the first 380m of which

    are open to the public. Here you can see the bones of cave bear and vist (and even adopt ) the

    current inhabitants, bats. Or, visit the Zrinski silver mines, worked from the 16th century when

    Count Petar Zrinski was awarded the right to mine for precious metals here. After two

    centuries of mining, some people say the system of caves extends all the way to Gornji Grad

    in the centre of Zagreb.3

    7. MAKSIMIR PARK

    Maksimir Park is one of Europes largest public parks, with a ground area of 316 hectares,

    somewhat larger than Hide Parks 142. Originally constructed on the outskirts of Zagreb,

    towards the end of the 18th century it soon found itself surrounded by the ever sprawling urban

    Zagreb. The park takes its name from Bishop Maksimilian Vrhovec,who once owned the

    lands; Maksimir is is a contraction of Maksimilijanov mir, Interestingly the park is not only

    considered a location of some solitude by the human visitors, but by the animal population as

    well. The park is home to a number of species of squirrel and bat ( which you can see flyingaround in the fading light), but also to the Middle Spotted Woodpecker : endangered

    throughout Europe but thriving, somewhat, in Maksimir.

    It was itended that the park be done in the French style,but looking at it today it is clear that is

    more English than anything else, with a number of lakes, ponds, streams, and meadows, all of3www.pp-medvednica.hr

    which provide a diverse habitat for a variety of plants and creatures. And it is very much a

    home to Zagreb Zoo since 1925 ( the Zoo underwent a major modernization project in 1990

    and they are still looking to improve where they can). Once the new Lion enclosure is

    completed it should appear more safari than zoo.

    Today the park remains one of Zagrebs most visited tourist attractions, and sees more than its

    fair share of locals as well. The park offers an almost endless combination of pathways from

    which you could spend, quite literally, as full day exploring and still not have seen

    everything. Scattered around the park are over dozen structures and buildings, all harking

    back to the parks creation, and to the first half of the 19th century. While it was once, more or

    less, restricted to the elite and upper classes, Maksimir Park highlights the ability of the

    authorities, through the centuries, to preserve and maintain the past in a modern and

    welcoming fashion. For those of a strong sporting nature it is worth noting that the first

    international water polo match took place here in 1923.

    The park is not just for nature lovers or followers of 18th/ 19th century architectures; children

    are more than welcome here. Conveniently the tram stops right outside, reducing the time

    little Jane or Johnny has to traipse around before reaching their destination. There are

    playgrounds within the park, and its possible to try your hand at angling or rowing upon one

    of the lakes. Its not unexpected to come across groups of street performers, perfecting their

    arts on one of the numerous green areas, and if you are lucky enough you might well be able

    to engage in, or at least witness, some show-jumping.4

    Many citizens of Zagreb who like to walk through the main town cemetery Mirogoj

    probably have similar thoughts. For Mirogoj, with its peaceful and unique atmosphere easily

    encourages contemplation and awakens the philosopher in us all. This unique graveyard with

    its specific architectural and artistic values and historical significance is one the most

    attractive places to visit in Zagreb. This is not without reason, because Mirogoj is the biggest

    achievement of Croatian sepulcher architecture and also one of the most beautiful European

    cemeteries, a truly inevitable attraction for any town visitor.

    Here, in this one place where the citizens of Zagreb remember their deceased in peace and

    respectful silence, you can literally walk through Croatian history and enjoy a unique and

    unrivaled harmony.

    Mirogoj, in the whirl of a modern fast way of life is made for those looking for cracks that

    connect us with our spiritual side. Before the opening of the Mirogoj cemetery, the dead were

    buried in different places, depending on their place of residence, class, religion etc. The most

    important cemetery Mirogoj was the Jurjevsko cemetery on Gornji grad (the old town of

    Zagreb), where burials were held from 1622 until 1876. There were also dozens of other

    cemeteries were gone by 1990 and most of human remains buried there were moved to

    Mirogoj.

    9. CONCLUSION

    Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava

    River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes

    connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of

    contemporary Croatias culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The

    unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient

    cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

    Of course, visitors to Zagreb have a number of positive and negative comments to make about

    the city. In general, tourists find that taxis are expensive and also comment on the unnecessary

    parking restrictions in the centre of the city. Zagrebs airport also comes under fire for its

    provincial feel with only one terminal building, whilst the graffiti that appears on some

    buildings in the city centre is understandably disliked. Some visitors also comment that they

    are disappointed in not being able to buy many souvenirs, whilst the short museum opening

    hours is also commented on.

    Happily, visitors do also comment on a number of positive things about the city. They say that

    Zagrebs cleanliness and safety are two major pluses, whilst also praising the citys friendlypeople and atmosphere. Many also enjoy the rich history of the city.

    Lets hope that Zagrebs visitor numbers increase further and many more come to enjoy this

    city!
