    Kurija Matije Stoklasa, 1674-1687
    4 more images

    If not for other reasons I am in particularly grateful for joining to VT because this membership have teach me to walk the streets of my hometown with open eyes. It is completely new sensation, now I see things which have never seen before. Now I understand much better what my school professor used to tell; "learn your own country first and only then start exploring the world around". I bet most of the fellow members got the same sensation regarding their hometowns too.
    Curia or kurija in croatian, is the residential seat od Kaptol's canons, all of them built between 16th and 19th% centuries and located in Nova Ves street, right next to the cathedral.

    The pharmacy is called "K crnom orlu".

    Wall of Pain

    This wall in Zagreb is a memorial for all Croatians who died or disappeared during the war of the 1990s. It consists of 13,650 red and black bricks. Relatives wrote the names of missing people on the red ones, the black ones symbolise the deads.

    Croatia is still looking for 1,189 persons who went missing during the war.

    To get to the wall take tram number 2, 6 or 11 to Sveti Duh (2nd last stop of the line to Crnomerec). You will see it on your left side.

    ***LATEST NEWS 2006*** Niksa told me that the wall has disappeared. Too bad, I really think that an impressive memorial like this should never be destroyed.

    Dolac

    Dolac is the city's main market, also called the belly of Zagreb. The open market square, situated in between the Cathedral and Jelacic Square, covered with fruit and vegetable stalls, is actually the ceiling of the indoor area of the market. This square was built in 1926, when the old houses in a network of narrow streets covering the area were pulled down.

    Maksimir - Park and the city zoo

    by montezaro Updated Feb 19, 2005 145 reviews

    4 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Maksimir, zooloski vrt

    Maksimir is a huge city park, 18 hectares of lush greenery and forest, opened to the public in 1794, and was the first of its kind in this part of Europe.
    It is a perfect half-day outing for both locals and tourists. Blaring car engines have been removed from this place and as such it is a great escape. An added bonus, the city zoo is housed within it.

    Mandu��evac

    The fountain Manduševac is built on the site of the previous one, just a few steps away from the original spring. It is an attraction but also a meeting point for both tourists and locals.
    There are couple of legends about Zagreb's name. One of them says Zagreb got its name from a chance meeting at this square, when a viceroy called out to a beautiful girl standing near the well: "Mandušo, ZAGRABI (scoop)", and that is how the well came to be named Manduševac and the town Zagreb.

    Beautiful church

    by ivanab Updated Dec 21, 2004 197 reviews

    3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    One of my favourite churches in Zagreb. Maybe because I've been going there all my life and 'cause it's in my street, but I find it somehow most warm of all the chuches I've ever been into. It's small and the interior is definitely worth seeing. Just go right from Trg Marsala Tita in the street Gjure Dezelica and you can't miss it.
