10 Churches & Cathedrals in Zagreb That You Shouldn't Miss
Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

My name’s Renata. After working in education for some time, I decided to switch careers and to use my language knowledge for something else. So I got my tour guide license, and now I would love to tell you interesting stories about my city. The tour includes major landmarks as well as some hidden gems.

Magnificent set up on the hill above the city. Majestic, beautiful, even though one tower is shrouded with scaffolding. Walking inside we were overwhelmed by the peaceful serenity, beauty of the architecture, the many glorious stained glass windows, the statues and altar. We lit candles for recently departed dear friends and their grieving families and felt an extra special peace and comfort as we walked away. Truly a very special place to visit. So good for the soul to find such peace in today's world ...

A major landmark in Zagreb is the Cathedral. It has 2 spires that can be seen from anywhere in the city and can be used as a point of reference. It is a tourist attraction and free to go in. The church also has colourful windows. The locals as that visitors dress modestly when going inside this place of worship.

Stopped in by accident, while passing by. Glad I did. Relatively small, but all kinds of paintings on the ceilings and walls, and a beautiful ark.
