St. Mark's Church
Crkva sv. Marka
A Gothic church whose roof is patterned with colored tiles showing the coats of arms of Croatia and Zagreb. It is the postcard image of Zagreb.
St. Mark's Church stands in the center of St. Mark's Square in the Upper Town (Gornji Grad). It dates from the 13th century, though its current appearance is mostly from 19th-century restoration. The most striking feature is the colorful glazed-tile roof. On the left are the arms of the three kingdoms of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia, and on the right is the coat of arms of Zagreb. The government building and the parliament sit on either side of the square, and security is fairly tight. The interior is open only during Mass, so most visitors simply take photos from outside.
Opening hours
