Fatos rápidos: Gleaming roof tiles form a striking checkerboard of coats of arms that sparkle in sunlight, drawing photographers and curious wanderers to peer up from the cobblestones. Inside, visitors notice a surprising contrast between the ornate tiled roof's showy exterior and the serene, Gothic nave where stone carvings and quiet shadows make the past feel palpable.
Destaques: Look up and you'll see a flamboyant tiled roof patterned with two heraldic shields: on one side the red-and-white checkerboard of the historic Croatian coat of arms, on the other Zagreb's medieval shield, their glazed tiles catching sunlight like hundreds of tiny mirrors. Behind the church a weathered 13th century grave slab bears a carved wolf's paw and a faint Latin inscription, a little-known legend says a medieval knight was buried there and locals still whisper the story on moonlit walks.
