Zagreb County, Capital city in northern Croatia.
Description
Zagreb is the capital city in northern Croatia and extends along the Sava River at the base of Medvednica mountain. An electric tram network connects the neighborhoods through wide boulevards.
History
The city was founded in 1094 when King Ladislaus established the diocese, laying the foundation for growth. Two medieval settlements developed around this religious institution and shaped the city's early structure.
Culture
The Upper Town holds the Gothic Zagreb Cathedral, the Church of Saint Mark with its distinctive colored roof tiles, and several museums displaying Croatian heritage. These buildings shape the city's appearance and reflect the region's religious and artistic traditions.
Practical
The central Ban Jelačić Square connects to an extensive public transportation system, making it simple to reach every district. Wide streets and clear signage help visitors navigate the city easily.
