Stone Gate is the eastern gate to medieval town and Zagreb’s most important shrine. The only remaining entrance of Zagreb’s old fortifications. Stone gate is the only gate preserved today. It was built in 13th century as one of four main gates leading to the town. Together with St. Mark’s church, it stands as a living testimony to past times and free royal Gric city, a predecessor to Zagreb. Within the gate, you will find a shrine and stone slabs praising the Mother of God. The shrine of our lady of the Stone Gate houses the painting of the Mother of God. Which miraculously survived the 17th-century fire and is protected by an artistically forged iron fence. The square stone slabs are engraved all over, within the gate passage. These stone slabs present locals thanks and praise to the Lady Virgin. You will notice most of them have the word “Hvala Ti”, which is translated to “Thank You”. TIP: EVERY TUESDAY AT 8 PM LOCAL PEOPLE PRAY THE ROSARY AT THE STONE GATE. THEY SING AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL PRAYER AND EXPRESS THEIR WISHES. EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

In the walls around Gradec, the part of Upper Town built on a neighbouring hill to Kaptol, there were once five gates. Stone Gate is now the only one of these remaining. It was built in the 13th century, and stands beside a square tower from 1266. In 1731 a fire destroyed all the nearby houses, but a painting of Mary with Child on the gate was left undamaged. A chapel was established around this painting and a Baroque wrought-iron grille now protects the work, attributed to a local master from the 16th century. On the west façade of the church is a statue of a woman, a character from a famous Croation novel and the work of the sculptor Ivo Kerdić in 1929. On the other side of the gate, on the corner of Kamenita and Habdelićeva, stands an 18th-century building. On the ground floor of this building is a Pharmacy (Alighieri ljekarna) which has been in existence since 1350 and which, from 1399 onwards, belonged to Nicolò Alighieri, the great-grandson of the great Italian writer Dante

Not to be missed when u r in old town, its beautiful and peaceful place with unique history relevancy. We also observed zagreb is easy to explore by walking than your own car, limited parking space but cars are not allowed in city center. Also be aware of the steep roads in the zagreb old town, we were literally exhausted carrying our trolleys all the way up to the stonegate. Just 5 mins walk from stonegate you can find a whole street of restaurants, we explored and enjoyed sunny weather in zagreb.

The Stone Gate (Kamenita Vrata) is one of the city's most revered and historic landmarks. This ancient stone archway, the only preserved gate from the original medieval fortifications, holds great significance for the people of Zagreb. Inside the gate, an icon of the Virgin Mary is enshrined, which miraculously survived a devastating fire in 1731. As such, it is a site of pilgrimage and devotion, and locals often light candles and offer prayers here.

the Stone Gate, the eastern gate to medieval Gradec Town, which is now a shrine. According to legend, a great fire in 1731 destroyed every part of the wooden gate except for the painting of the Virgin and Child (by an unknown 17th-century artist). People believe that the painting possesses miraculous powers and come regularly to pray, light candles and leave flowers. Square stone slabs are engraved with thanks and praise to the Virgin.
