Asset Overview

St. Mark's Church is one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb, dating from the 13th century, located on St.Mark's Square and easily recognizable by its colourful roof. The church is protected by the Republic of Croatia as a cultural heritage. The Gothic composition of the portal consists of fifteen effigies placed in eleven shallow niches. 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. Many historic events took place there; for instance, Ambroz Matija Gubec, the leader of the Croatian-Slovene Peasant Revolt 1573, was publicly tortured there and forced to wear a red-hot iron crown.
