Zagreb Tour Part 2

Next on our tour was the market. All of the umbrellas represent Zagreb.

 



We then saw a statute dedicated to prostitutes.



Then The Stone Gate - this is the only remaining of five gates that were around the walls of Gradec, the Upper Town built on a neighboring hill to Kapitol. Inside the gate is a painting of Mary with Child that was left undamaged by a fire in 1731; this fire destroyed all the nearby houses.  A chapel was established around the painting and there is now a Baroque Iron grille.





Then we saw the Church of St. Mark. You cannot get into the Church but the roof is what makes it special. The colored tiles on the room are from the Coats of Arms of Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia and Zagreb.








Then we saw the Church of St. Catherine - a Dominican Church.
