Following upon the research of Croatian linguists (R. Katičić) and cultural anthropologists (V. Belaj) the authors propose several sites, and structured associations thereof, which, in their opinion, played an important role as the foundations to the cultural landscape of Zagreb and the Zagreb Prigorje area, as we can at least partly reconstruct it today. These sites, located along the line St. Jakob-Medvedgrad-St.Marko, within the Remete »hoof,« along the line the Rog-the Stari Kip-Gradec (Zagreb), and those linked to St. Barbara are just initial examples of what might be achieved by a systematic continuous research. The paper also discusses methodology involved in studying cultural landscape, its signifi cance for the history of the visual arts, and the importance for contemporary interventions in our environment.

    A Welcome to Zagreb As you set out to take a tour round Zagreb, determined to see its highlights, you’ll find that you’ll end up rather enjoying it. Sitting at one of its Viennese- style cafés, strolling leisurely around its streets and promenading through its parks, it’s like you’re starting out on a love affair with this city and its people. And pretty soon you’ll know that this is love in its early stage, the kind that only grows stronger in time. The cosmopolitan buzz of Zagreb will soon strike you. Everything is accessible on foot – from your hotel to the theatre, wandering around the old Upper Town or through the bustling streets of the more modern Lower Town, which has not lost an ounce of its charm despite the eternal march of time. Venture out and let the moment take hold. There is something special about the rustle of leaves as you stroll through the autumn colours of downtown Zrinjevac Park. There is magic in the reflections of the gas lanterns in the Upper Town, as the songs of the street performers evoke their own emotions with their distinctive sound. As night falls, everything becomes soft and subdued; the twinkle of candles in the cathedral and at the mystical Stone Gate; the cafés beckoning you in the twilight with their warm hues. Zagreb is special. It is a long-running tale that allows you room to write your own chapters with your own impressions, something for you to add to the story. Quite simply, Zagreb has a soul.

  • Spatial and Functional Changes in Recent Urban Development of Zagreb
    RAZPRAVE Dela 27 ● 2007 ● 5-15 SPATIAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN RECENT URBAN DEVELOPMENT OF ZAGREB Miroslav Sić Trg D. Domjanića 7, Sesvete, Zagreb Izvirni znanstveni članek COBISS 1.01 Abstract This article discusses the urban development of Zagreb in the transition period. It analyses four processes which have caused spatial and functional changes in the city’s development within its administrative limits. These are: the process of a new CBD establishment, expansion of hypermarkets and commercial centres, housing construction under new conditions and transportation problems and solutions. Under the influence of these processes the spatio- functional structure of the city becomes more and more complex. In this connection the city has started to have more influence on the urban region’s development. Key words: new CBD, hypermarkets and commercial centres, housing construction, traffic infrastructure, Zagreb, Croatia. PROSTORSKE IN FUNKCIJSKE SPREMEMBE V NOVEJŠEM URBANEM RAZVOJU ZAGREBA Izvleček V članku se razpravlja o urbanem razvoju Zagreba v obdobju tranzicije. Analizirajo se štiri procesi, ki so pripeljali do prostorskih in funkcijskih sprememb v razvoju mesta znotraj uprvnih meja. To so: proces nastajanja novega centralnega poslovnega središča (CBD, city), širjenje trgovskih središč in hipermarketov, razvoj stanovanjske gradnje v novih pogojih in prometni problemi ter njihove rešitve. Pod vplivom teh procesov je prostorsko-funkcionalna struktura mesta postala bolj kompleksna. V povezavi s tem je mesto še okrepilo svoj vpliv na razvoj celotne urbane regije. Ključne besede: novo centralno poslovno središče, CBD, city, hipermarket, trgovski center, stanovanjska gradnja, prometna infrastruktura, Zagreb, Hrvaška. Miroslav Sić / Dela 27 ● 2007 ● 5-15 1.

  • ZAGREB a Brief History of Zagreb
    THE CITY WITH A MILLION HEARTS ZAGREB A brief history of Zagreb Zagreb’s history dates back to the Roman times when the urban settlement of Andautonia, inhabited the location of modern Ščitarjevo. The name Zagreb first came into existence in 1904 with the founding of the Zagreb bishopric of Kaptol. In 1242, it became a free royal town and in 1851 it had its own Mayor, Janko Kamauf. In 1945, Zagreb was declared the capital of Croatia. Today's Zagreb has grown out of two medieval settlements that for centuries developed on neighbouring hills. The first written mention of the city dates from 1094, when a diocese was founded on Kaptol, while in 1242, neighbouring Gradec was proclaimed a free and royal city. Both the settlements were surrounded by high walls and towers, remains of which are still preserved. During the Turkish onslaughts on Europe, between the 14th and 18th centuries, Zagreb was an important border fortress. The Baroque reconstruction of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries changed the appearance of the city. The old wooden houses were demolished, opulent palaces, monasteries and churches were built. The many trade fairs, the revenues from landed estates and the offerings of the many craft workshops greatly contributed to the wealth of the city. Affluent aristocratic families, royal officials, church dignitaries and rich traders from the whole of Europe moved into the city. Schools and hospitals were opened, and the manners of European capitals were adopted. The city outgrew its medieval borders and spread to the lowlands. The first parks and country houses were built.
