Cathedral of the Assumption
Cathedral of the Assumption Reviews
Jul 12, 2006This gothic cathedral, located in the upper town ("Gornji Grad") of Zagreb is worth checking out if you are in the area. Built in the 11th century, it is one of the more impressive buildings in Zagreb, and the interior is elaborately decorated. My favorite part about the cathedral was the odd looking old text carved into its walls, which my Croatian friend told me was an alien language from outer space ;) There is also a pretty cool outdoor market in the courtyard in front of the church. Some of the fruit didn't look too fresh, but probably better than what you might find elsewhere. Part of the Eastern Europe 2006 travel blog |

Get dazzled by the four glittering gold muses that form the base of the statue that sits before the grand Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary whose spires differ in colour right now, one painted likewise white-gold by the suns setting rays, the other greyer, as yet uncleaned and swaddled in preparatory scaffolding. I sight this whilst sat drinking a beer… Zagreb : 'All hail to King Tomislav, the President of Couchsurfia!' |
