Zagreb evolved as two medieval settlements — Gradec and Kaptol — which merged over centuries under Austro-Hungarian influence, leaving a layered urban fabric of churches, promenades, and civic squares.
Conservation
Visitors are encouraged to respect historic sites by staying on paved paths in Mirogoj and avoiding litter at market stalls; supporting local vendors helps sustain neighborhood economies.
