Overview
We will begin by entering the magnificent Zagreb Cathedral. It is one of the city's most iconic sites: impressive Gothic architecture, beautiful stained glass windows and centuries of history packed into a breathtaking space. We will also shed light on who treated the cathedral's Baroque altars as bulky waste-and why.
You will learn about two Hungarian kings who played a crucial role in Zagreb's medieval past: King Ladislaus and King Béla IV. We will tell stories of legendary figures such as Nikola Tesla, the brilliant inventor and scientist, and Josip Broz Tito, president for life of socialist Yugoslavia from the end of World War II until 1980, a charismatic and controversial figure who managed to keep the country united while preserving independence from both the Soviet Union and the West.
We will delve into Zagreb's fascinating architecture, including the hidden Nazi-era tunnel under the city. Along the way we will also discuss Yugoslav socialist and communist ideology, the Ottoman threat, peasant uprisings, and the masters of Croatian naïve art.
Join me to experience Zagreb in a way you will never forget.
