About Zagreb
First original settlement that carried the name of Zagreb lied on left bank of Medveščak stream. It enters history in 1094, when hungarian king Ladislav founded first diocese in it. Together with diocese, north from cathedral, arises also a canonical settlement (Kanonička ves) today known as Kaptol.
Zagreb is also county Castrum and seat of governor.To episcopal Zagreb also belongs Vlaska street and from 1247 a part of land of Gradec, where Kaptol built its tower (Popov toranj). Near the Zagreb, on adjacent hill (nowadays known as Gornji grad) there is a fortified settlement Gradec (Grec, Grech).
Both settlements, in 1242 survived Tataric intrusion. The same year, croatian-hungarian king Bela IV grants Gradec so called „Zlatna bula“ a charter which exclude citizens of Gradec from county government, but are pledge to king for mlitary service.
Immediately after tataric retreat citizen are starting to built the walls around Gradec. Fortifying is mostly done by 1266; bastions with towers surrounded city in shape of triangle. Beneath these walls arises new suburbs called Šoštarska ves and Nova varoška ves (today Ilica), and from 1334 on church estate north of Kaptol, Nova ves.
In XV century ottomans are begining to attack this region and king Matija Korvin, 1469 allows the bishop to fortify the Kaptol. Walls with towers,which surrround city in form of quadrangle are done 1478, and walls arround very cathedral were done by bishop Toma Bakač, the addministrator of Zagreb diocese. Read more...
