To be honest, I don't know much about the Evangelists and have never entered into this church, although have passed by so many times. It is situated in the center of the city, very close to Croatian National Theatre.
The church was constructed at the end of the 19th century, following the plans of architects Schmidt and Hermann Bolle. It is very pitoresque, made completely of red brick, and is part of the city recognizable sights.

Originally this building was for the National and University Library, but now it houses the State Archives. It is widely considered to be the best Art Nouveau building in Croatia, built by Rudolf Lubynski between 1910 and 1913 (thanks for the information, Niksa!).

This was a present of the Austrians when Croacia was ruled by Austria-Hungary.
It’s quite interesting as inside it has all the instruments used to see the weather conditions: a thermometer, a barometer as well an instrument as to measure quakes.

Every country needs his hero-ruler. Croatia, after being part of foreign empires (Austria-Hungary) and and after being part of Yugoslavia from whom they traumatically broke up, need someone to impersonate a past state of independence and its own culture.
King Tomislav is the right entity. He was an early ruler of the country (910-928), first the Duke of the Dalmacian Croatia, then King of a united Croatia, when the two main parts of this country were united: The Adriatic leg of Dalmacia and the Southern part of the Pannonian basin (also known as the Hungarian flatlands).

This is Zagreb’s main street… I think.
A very long shopping street with trams running through.
I couldn't remember its name, so I spent quite a while on the net, looking for its name. I think it's in Donji Grad, the Lower Town, it seemed so when I walked through.

Tkalciceva street is full of small restaurants,caffes and bars. You can take a break during your tour. You should taste the delicious desert of "Ivica i Marica " ( 2nd photo ) All their products are hand made and using brown sugar.

This is a beautiful shopping passage right in the center of Zagreb. It houses lots of expensive shops like one for ties (kravats) which were originally coming from here after the French soldiers who had tied some cloth around their necks.

During the day this square is full of people and bars. Contained within the square is a statue of the poet Petra Preradovica. Behind this statue lies the Orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration of the Lord.

Walking through the streets of the lower town as evening approached we came across this lone baloon seller hoping for that final sale for the day. Everyone else had closed up and headed home because it was Saturday evening.

Ilica pronounced as "I-li-sa" is a very long street with shops dotted along its meander. Having been in Milan the week before, the Ilica pales in comparison with the OTT experience of Milan. While Monte Napoleano appears rich, classy and in your face, the Ilica is more your run of the mill shopping experience with Marks and Spencer, Continental fashion chains like Benetton, Esprit, Mango and of course Croatian departmental stores.
