Gornji Grad (Upper Town) is one of the districts of
Zagreb.
Gradec (old name) was given a royal charter by King Bela IV in
1242. The royal charter, also called the Golden Bull, was a very
important document by which Gradec was declared and proclaimed "a
free royal city on Gradec, the hill of Zagreb"
Nearby you will find St. Mark's Square one of the most
pictoresque squares in Zagreb and the St. Mark's church.
The church was built on Romanesque foundations, finished as a three
nave type church makes a unique Gothic whole. And it's roof is
something to look at.
On the roof, tiles are laid so that they represent the coat of arms
of Zagreb (white castle on red background) and Triune Kingdom of
Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia.
