Zagreb is the capital town of Croatia. It has developed on the foundations of the medieval castles Kaptol and Gradec, which are located on two adjacent hills. The city has been a true Croatian cultural metropolis for centuries.
The city boasts attractions such as the Art Pavilion, the Croatian National Theater, the University Library, many galleries, museums, a botanical garden and beautiful parks. Zagreb always had an appearance of a Central European cultural center. Dolac Market is located in the town district Upper Town – Medvescak. Dolac is the largest, the most famous and most important market in Zagreb. It was opened in 1930 in the area of old walls that were torn down. Evidence about that is a street named Under the Wall. In addition to the walls, several houses in the old part of Dolac were demolished. The Zagreb Market is a combination of an open and closed area. It is a picturesque and popular spot visited by many locals every day. It is a proof that Croatia has fresh, homemade and delicious food. Under the red parasols, the market sells vegetables and fruits, as well as tasty and high quality meat from nearby villages of Zagreb and from other countries. Fresh sea fishes and dairy products produced by villagers from around Zagreb are also sold here. Here is also a rich offer of textile, specific wooden products and many other interesting things. In 2006, a statue of a traditional sales woman was erected on the market. It is named kumica in Croatian language. Kumice were women from the Zagreb area who produced their own fruits and vegetables or homemade cheese and cream, which they then sell at the Dolac Market.
Dolac and Ban Jelacic Square are connected by Splavnica Street, where flowers are sold during the day. In the small square there is a statue of Petrice Kerempuh, which is the work of sculptur Vanje Radaus and was erected in 1955.
