Mercy Over Croatia



Croatia is a very religious country.
People frequently visit the Zagreb Cathedral. The St. Catherine’s Church, St Stephen’s Chapel, Franciscan Church, St Mary’s Church are all beautiful churches in the heart of Zagreb city close to the Green Horseshoe, a park in the shape of a letter “U” and contains a lot of the public culture. We crossed the Dolac Market, a food market where people buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish and figs, particularly in the summer.

We crossed the “Bloody bridge” which connects Gradec and Kaptol. “The Stone Gate” is a very precious place because under the arch of the gateway a painting of the Virgin Mary was saved from a fire in 1731.
Many people light a candle here and make a wish. Close by is the Oldest Pharmacy of Zagreb, Kamenita ulica. Another interesting shop is in the upper town, the Museum of Broken Relationship where anything can be donated, reminding people of their own broken relationships.
