Zagreb County

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Dolac Market displays rows of vendors in white cotton uniforms selling fresh produce under distinctive red umbrellas year-round. This scene is part of the city's daily rhythm and where locals purchase their groceries.
