Why Zagreb Cathedral matters

You can spot the two slender spires from across the city. The cathedral has been rebuilt and restored many times after earthquakes and fires, which is part of its story. Step inside for a quiet interior and a look at the surrounding old walls. It is a good photo stop, especially from Dolac market side in the morning light.

Talking points

  • Its twin spires are the highest point in the city skyline.
  • Earthquakes have repeatedly shaped its restoration.
  • Dolac market is a short walk away.
