EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stone Gate, also known as Kamenita Vrata in Croatian, is a historic landmark located in the Old Town of Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia. This magnificent stone gate, adorned with intricate carvings and a beautiful baroque portal, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Croatia. The Stone Gate is believed to date back to the Roman times, with some sources suggesting that it was originally a part of the city walls. However, the current appearance of the gate is largely due to the extensive renovations carried out in the 18th century. The intricate carvings on the gate depict various religious symbols, including the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, reflecting the strong influence of Christianity on Croatian culture. The Stone Gate has been an important pilgrimage site for centuries, with many believing that touching the gate brings good luck and ensures safe travel. Despite its historic significance, the gate has survived numerous conflicts and natural disasters, including the devastating earthquake of 1880. Today, it stands proudly as a symbol of resilience and endurance, drawing visitors from all corners of the world. As you stand before the Stone Gate, you can't help but be in awe of the intricate details and the stories that this historic monument holds. The gate is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Old Town of Zagreb and offers a glimpse into the fascinating history and culture of Croatia.
