According to legend, in 1731 a fire exploded through the city, burning all the houses to the ground. The stone gate had a painting of Mother Mary and Jesus and was “miraculously” unharmed by the fire. It is still thought today the gate possess powers and is now protected in a chapel.

A visit to the Cathedral of The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a must. The cathedral is the landmark of Zagreb and contains beautiful religious art work, garments, artifacts and other important objects.
