Of course, visit the Old town...

Of course, visit the Old town of the city, and inside there the St Mark Church. Croatian people is very friendly, I like them all, specially my little sister Sanja, who was my tour guide and loyal friend. Many many many thanks (hvala lepo) to her and Ivan her boyfriend, who supported me and made the things there more easier and pleasant for me, they helped me a lot (mnogo mnogo!).
Kaptol
by Daja123
Kaptol brings us back to the name of Zagreb. The town was mentioned for the first time in writing in 1094, in a charter issued by King Ladislas I by which he founded the Zagreb Bishopric.
The area of Kaptol is dominated by the Cathedral of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and St. Stephen. There was an oldest church here in King Ladislas' time, as well as a Romanesque cathedral which was badly damaged during the invasion of the Tartars.
The present look of the cathedral dates back at the beginning of the 20th century. Invaluable treasures are stored in the Cathedral Treasury, dating from the founding of the Zagreb Bishopric in the 11th century.
Zagreb - St. Marks Church
by Martin_S.
Hrvojka took us for a walk around the old town of Zagreb and one of the spots we came across is the St. Marks Church here in St.Marks Square. It was built in the 13th century. The roof tiles (only applied during the 19th century) on the left depict the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia and the right show coat of arms of the city of Zagreb.
Taizé Info
by polardabar
For those of you know something about Taizé, this will be nice news! It was decided that the European / World meeting for New Year's 2006 / 2007 will take part in Zagreb!
The preparations are already slowly starting, people are gathering together & thinking of the solutions to make it all work out. These meetings tend to attract a lot of people [dozens of thousands actually!], so we really have to prepare it as nice as possible...
For more info, visit my Taizé page! Maybe this makes some of you come to Zagreb, after all it's a good enough reason! ;)
