The
Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, can be seen |
This Cathedral, which can be seen from just about any point in the city, is a beautiful structure. The original building was constructed in 1242, and has survived fires and earthquakes – with the help of some reconstruction, of course. This is one of the most popular sights in Zagreb and is something that every visitor should see up close.
Located in Old Town, a trip to the City Museum should be on your itinerary. By tracing the area’s development, it will give you a better sense of the history of the city and the people who inhabit it. It is definitely worth the price of admission.
