The horseshoe is one of the most significant architectural projects in Zagreb history that determined present urban identity of the town center. The construction began in the second half of 19th century and is considered the biggest urban achievement of that time. Continue your drive towards Mirogoj cemetary. This colossal cemetery represents one of the most major projects in European history. It included building a 500-meter long colonnade with twenty domes and many other impressive structures among which the Chapel of Christ the King particularly stands out.
