St. Mark's Church (Crkva Svetog Marka)

The colorful mosaic roof of St. Mark's makes it easy to spot while walking around Zagreb’s Gornji Grad (Upper Town). This distinctive feature dates to the 19th century, with patterned coats of arms representing Croatia, Zagreb, and the regions of Dalmatia and Slavonia. The interior is not well lit despite several stained-glass windows, but exceptional artworks inside include a Pietà sculpture and crucifix over the altar by Ivan Meštrović, Croatia’s much-revered 20th-century sculptor, and a series of biblical frescoes by artist Jozo Kljaković. Most walking tours of Zagreb include a stop here.
