Kaptol (photo to the left) and Gornji Grad (photo to the right) form the heart of Zagreb's historic district. "Kaptol" refers to the area around the fortified Zagreb Cathedral, the Dolac Market, and the Ban Jelacic Square. Gornji Grad or "Upper Town" is a walled enclaved above the city, overlooking modern day Zagreb. Once two separate cities, they are now linked by the world's shortest funicular as well as via a street and several sets of stairs. Together they form the historic center of Zagreb. Below is a virtual tour that explains some of the highlights of this section of Zagreb. It includes an audio voiceover, photos and videos.
