Many European cities are swarming with countless beautiful classical buildings, and Zagreb is no exception. Modern and traditional architecture perfectly blend in the Croatian capital, but if you’re looking for amazing classical buildings to explore, these three places deserve a spot on your travel itinerary.
Ban Jelačić Square
Zagreb’s main city square is the best place to explore the architectural diversity of this charming city. It’s home to some of its oldest standing buildings, dating all the way back to the 18th century, and they range from classicism to secession in their architectural style.
Zagreb Cathedral
One of the symbols of Zagreb, this Roman Catholic church comes with a long and pretty dark history. It went through several reconstructions after being built in the 13th century due to war and natural disasters that stripped it of its original glory over the centuries.
Mirogoj Cemetery
Often hailed as one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe, Mirogoj Cemetery was built in the late 19th century by Hermann Bollé. Its Gothic style, ivy-covered walls, and picture-perfect pavilions and domes make it one of Zagreb’s most Instagram-friendly spots.
