History & Culture
Zagreb history lasts for nine centuries. Its name was mentioned for the first time in 1094, when Hungarian king Ladislaus 1st found a diocese on Kaptol hill. It received the privileges of a free royal town early in the medieval period and by the 17th century, when the University of Zagreb was founded, had become the region’s political centre.
