These emblematic areas of the city are the upper city or Gornji grad, the lower town or Donji grad, and Kapol, and they all offer lots of stuff to do in Zagreb. In the Upper Town, you'll find the Tower Lotrscak, which dates from the thirteenth century, and the Stone Gate, which since ancient times has served as the city wall and which today houses the small chapel of San Marcos.
There are many things to do in Zagreb within the Lower City like seeing Green Horseshoe, an ensemble created by architect Milan Lenucci that combines squares and green layers in the village. The Croatian National Theatre is in the western part of the Green Horseshoe and is one of the city's most beloved monuments.
The Kapol area also offers important things to see in Zagreb like the Cathedral, which is another symbol of the city, and Ban Jelacic Square, the central space between the upper and the lower parts of the city. The central square, another one of the main attractions in Zagreb, was built in the Second World War and today is the commercial and financial center of the city. The Regent Esplanade is one of the most iconic Zagreb attractions, and has almost the same importance to the city's inhabitants as the Cathedral and the National Theatre.
