  • Tkalciceva is a nice street full of beautiful old houses, cafes, bars and shops. Apparently it was just renovated shortly before I had been to Zagreb so it all looked nice and (maybe a bit too) clean here.

    If you need a coffee while walking around or if you are searching for a drink in the evening you can't go wrong with coming here, even though it might be a bit too trendy ;)

    Kaptol: Kaptol - the Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kaptol is dominated by the Cathedral of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and St. Stephen.
    After a series of additions and renovations over the centuries, at the beginning of the 20th century two slim Neo-Gothic bell-towers were erected, which today are a prominent part of the city's visual identity. The left bell-tower is 104 meters high, while the right one is 105.

    There's some nice statues everywhere in Zagreb. This picture which I took while strolling along Tkalciceva shows the statue of the author Marija Juric Zagorka as well as a beautiful old sun dial on the wall..... and the beautiful still life was destroyed immediately by a very cheeky dog ;-)

    Kaptol: Tkalciceva ulica
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tkalciceva ulica, which lies in between Kaptol and the Upper Town, is one of the oldest street in Zagreb. Actually, it belongs to the Upper Town although great majority of the citizens considere it as a line which used to devided two ancient rivals, Kaptol and Gornji grad, before their unification in the city of Zagreb.
    Tkalca is coloquial name for this pitoresque and very charming street which is one of the most popular pedestrian and nightlife areas of the town. Each and every house, of this relatively short street, is turned into the cafe-bar, restaurant, art-gallery or gift-shop. We use to say here, the days are very short here and the nights even shorter.

  • This is a part of the statue of Virgin Mary surrounded by some beautiful angels and a fountain which stands in the middle of Kaptol square. I sat here for a while in the cold, having a drink, changing batteries of my camera and I thought that it must be nice to sit here in summer.... As I like angels I only have a picture of an angel here, one of my favourites...

    Kaptol: KAPTOL

  • OK let's leave the main square and continue to the next square - Kaptol. It's just a short walk uphill through the street called Bakaceva at the northeast of the main square. Kaptol is a huge kinda empty square. Around it you will find the cathedral as well as some nice old houses. In the middle there's the beautiful statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    Kaptol is one of the oldest squares in Zagreb. It dates back to the time when there were just two settlements - Kaptol and Gradec (which is now the upper town).

  • Fortress Wall at Kaptol - Zagreb
    Fortress Wall at Kaptol

    As in the 15th century the cathedral was the most eastern cathedral in Europe it was time to defend it as well as Croatia's christianity. A fortress wall with several towers was built around it. Unfortunately it was removed and only 6 towers remained standing. One of them is directly next to the cathedral.

    Kaptol: THE BLOODY BRIDGE (KRVAVI MOST)
  • Tip Rating:
  • This bridge over Medvešcak river used to connect Kaptol and Gradec and quite a few bad battles between the two town took place here - that's where its name "Bloody Bridge" comes from.

    The funny thing about this bridge, however, is that it's gone these days! It's a bit confusing that this street that connects Radiceva and Tkalciceva is still called a bridge.

    Kaptol: Kaptol - defending tower
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the part of the medieval walls and one of the defending towers which has surrounded the medieval town of Kaptol. Most of the walls, aswell as the cathedral itself, have been badly damaged during the invasion of the Tartars.

    Kaptol: Kaptol - Duhovni stol
  • Tip Rating:
  • In 800 the Church of the Holy Cross of Nin (near town of Zadar) is inscribed with the Latin "Here the weak man is brought to light", and it is the first written sign that Croats have accepted the catholicism. In the 11th century Croatia is both officially and irreversibly Catholic with the reign of King Petar Krešimir (1058-1074).
    The Zagreb Bishopric was founded in 1094, in a charter issued by King Ladislas I. Eversince that time Kaptol is the centre of the Croatian church and here on this picture you can see the seat of the Bishopry, which is situated right behind the cathedral.
