Historic Stone Gate

The renowned Stone Gate (Kamenita Vrata), the final of the five ancient city gates and likewise located in Upper Town, is another significant medieval building. One of the gates enclosing Zagreb's ancient Gradec neighborhood was the Stone Gate, which is now among the city's best-preserved landmarks. The building, which was constructed in the 13th century, and its iconic painting of Mary and Jesus both survived a fire in 1731. A chapel was constructed to hold the picture in honor of the significant relic, and it is still visible behind a metal grille today. The painting has long been the focus of pilgrimages.

One of the most renowned Croatian authors, August Shenoa, erected a sculpture of a well-known fictitious figure from a well-known historical novel in front of the Gate. They chose to place the sculpture on Kamenita Street because Dora and her father resided there in the book; this is the street where Stone Gate is. The Stone Gate has been preserved as a part of Croatian tradition for many years.
