Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1692, and its present appearance is the result of a major renovation and enlargement according to the plans of Hermann Bollé (1845-1926). The spacious building with a single nave, concluded by a polygonal sanctuary next to the choir, has side chapels and a sacristy. The nave is divided into three transepts with a cross barrel vault. The neo-Romanesque exterior is dominated by an octagonal tower in front of the central axis of the main façade.

Zagreb Central Mosque

This mosque was completed in 1987 in the Trstik housing complex in order to accomodate the large amount of Muslims living there. The mosque is built in order to follow modern construction trends of the time rather than following traditional Arabesque architecture. The building contains a 51m high minaret, a religious school, a library, and other features.

Zagreb Cathedral

Zagreb Cathedral was first built in the 11th century in 1093. But this original building was destroyed during the Tartar and Mongolian invasions in 1242. The current neo-Gothic building dates back to 1880 when the cathedral was rebuilt after being severely damaged by a violent earthquake.
