Zagreb is famous for its extraordinary history, lots of architectural monuments and other sights. Status of Zagreb as the capital of Croatia was approved in the middle of the 16^th century, but the heroic battles which occurred here in the dark ages are still remembered. In 1995 Zagreb bore significant damage resulting from heavy bombarding but efforts of local citizens reconstructed its beauty quickly. Just a few years later amazing Zagreb was welcoming the tourists again.

Unique architecture is a peculiarity of Zagreb; there are a lot of museums and exhibition halls to visit. It must be admitted that after the damages which Zagreb bore at the end of the 20^th century some museums haven’t managed to recover completely and re-open as they are still being repaired, but anyway there is no lack of sights in this town. Popularity of Zagreb is predetermined by numerous beautiful towers built at the end of the 19^th century. They are designed in neo-Gothic style and strike the tourists with their tallness.
