Marija Jurić Zagorka

The statue is the work of sculptor Stjepan Gračan.

Born into a wealthy family, the writer Marija Jurić Zagorka (1873 – 1957) was very much a woman ahead of her time, becoming the first female professional journalist in Croatia and a champion of equal rights. Writing under the pen-name Zagorka (which literally means “a woman from the Zagorje”), she wrote novels for a broad readership in which love stories and grand historical themes were intertwined. One of her most popular works was the series of novels entitled “The Witch of Grič”, a saga set against the background of 18th century witch-hunts. Her statue, erected in the 1991, is the work of sculptor Stjepan Gračan.

I am looking forward to Zagreb as a destination where I always feel good. It seems it has been too long since the last time I was here, although it was just a year or so.

I was very looking forward to coming to Zagreb, especially because my mother travelled with me. My people found out everything about it, so that we could see the main stuff in the city!

Jesse Eisenberg (actor) spent the autumn in Zagreb in 2007: Zagreb is an incredible town. I enjoyed sightseeing the old parts of the town, and at night I went to clubs. I was thrilled that it was near Austria and Italy, so I visited Venice, Milan, Ljubljana, Graz, Split... over the weekends.
