About Zagreb Upper Town/Gornji Grad

Gornji grad (The Upper Town) is a part dating from the medieval ages. It is situated on the slopes of the Medvednica mountain. It was the strategic guard of the plains stretching beneath. In the past, there were two cities: clerical Kaptol and civilian Gradec (Grič) whose relations weren't peaceful all the time (the name of street 'Krvavi most' - the Bloody Bridge is witness to this).
Kaptol Square is the central area of Upper Town. The buildings around this area date back to the 1600s. At the opposite end of the district is the Dolac fruit and vegetables market.
