Why you should visit it

It tells a lot of stories from the city's past. The first story goes to 11th century, the times when this city was founded. One of those stories is one about the 1880 earthquake that destroyed Zagreb. That's when the cathedral got its current appearance. Just entering the cathedral, you will hear soft whispers from the past.

Special tip

Walk around the cathedral, too. There's a sense that you shouldn't do that, but you can freely enter the small iron gate next to the church.
