Kašina, Residential settlement in Zagreb, Croatia
Kašina is a residential settlement located northeast of Zagreb, situated near the Medvednica mountain range. The area consists of single-family homes and residential buildings spread across a suburban landscape with green spaces and local roads connecting to the wider city.
The first written record of this settlement dates to a royal charter from 1217, when King Andrew II of Hungary documented its existence. Over the centuries, it evolved from a rural village into a modern residential suburb of Zagreb.
The residential community maintains Croatian traditions through local festivals, agricultural practices, and seasonal celebrations that connect generations of inhabitants.
Public bus services regularly connect the area to central Zagreb, providing straightforward access for commuters and visitors. The proximity to the Medvednica mountain range makes it convenient for day trips or hiking excursions.
The settlement sits directly on the Medvednica fault line, which caused substantial damage during the earthquakes of 1880 and 2020. This geological position makes it a noteworthy location for understanding how natural forces have shaped the community over time.
