Zagreb

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and its largest city.

Zagreb Cathedral, a Roman Catholic institution, originally built in 1217 by the Hungarians, is the tallest building in Croatia. It was rebuilt after a massive earthquake leveled Zagreb in 1880.

Fortifications built to protect the church from the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century still stand today.

Zagreb sits on many hills.
