Zagreb features an architectural heritage spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times. The Zagreb Cathedral dominates the city with its two neo-Gothic towers measuring 108 meters, while St. Mark's Church displays the city's historic coats of arms on its roof. The Stone Gate, a remnant of 13th-century fortifications, houses a chapel dedicated to the Virgin and Child. The Lotrščak Tower, an old medieval watchtower, still fires a daily cannon at noon. The city organizes its cultural offerings around several institutions: the Broken Relationships Museum exhibits an international collection of objects related to breakups, the Art Pavilion is housed in a building from 1898 dedicated to contemporary art, and the Grič Tunnel, a 350-meter-long shelter built during World War II, now serves as an exhibition space. Maksimir Park extends over 316 hectares with five lakes and a zoo, while the Botanical Garden has collected over 5,000 plant species over 4.7 hectares since 1889. Mirogoj Cemetery, designed by Hermann Bollé in 1876, combines neo-Renaissance arcades with funerary architecture.
