Stone Gate
Kamenita vrata
The only surviving medieval gate of Upper Town, where a Madonna icon that survived a great fire is enshrined, and a small chapel keeps candles burning year-round.
The Stone Gate is the sole surviving gate of Upper Town's medieval walls. In 1731, the image of the Virgin Mary inside the gate survived a great fire virtually unscathed, and it has since become Zagreb's holiest sanctuary. A small chapel is set within the gateway, where worshippers light candles and pray quietly in front of the iron grille, and the walls are hung with thank-you tablets. Passing through the Stone Gate brings you into Upper Town, and outside the gate stands a statue of St George slaying the dragon. Admission is free, so please keep your voice down.
