Croatia



I was in Zagreb for two days in August and it was then that I realized I didn't have a single postcard from our capital, so I thought, why not to send myself one? I chose the beautiful St. Mark's Church, located at the St. Mark's Square, together with  Banski dvori (the seat of the Government of Croatia), Croatian Parliament and Constitutional Court of Croatia
The Romanesque window found in the church's south facade is the best evidence that the church must have been built as early as the 13th century. Outside, on the northwest wall of the church lies the oldest coat of arms of Zagreb with the year 1499 engraved in it.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.
