Zagreb is the capital and largest city in the Republic of Croatia. It is located at the base of Mt. Medvednica (Zagrebacka Gora) beside the River Sava's tract. The central geographical location in the south western part of the Panonian Valley, surrounded by Alps, Dinarida, Adriatic and Panonian regions are what enable Zagreb excellent connections to Europe and the Adriatic Sea.
Kaptol is the oldest part of Zagreb. The gothic cathedral, built 13-15th century has been renovated after the earthquake of 1880, during which the facade of its two high bell towers (105m) was renovated becoming the symbol of Zagreb. Donji Grad is the part of Zagreb located between Gornji Grad and Kaptol. It stretches from the main street Ilica to the Ban Jelacic Square. Streets, squares and parks are all laid out at right angles as planned in 1865. |
