Welcome....I started this page because my very special Grandma
was born in Krk on the Island and I think of her often....she is
gone many years now. I first begin my search for this far away
place in order to get to know more about where she came from...
so I will be adding more information as I go along......Also my
heart is with other croatians of whom I have read about with the
wars and atrocities that have been in the news at various times
and wonder when it will be over....I know my Grandmother told me
many many times as I was growing up.....how she escaped from
concentration camp...her and my grandfather....Maria is her name.
Thank you for stopping by and please sign my guestbook and let me
know you were here and any comments you wish to leave......

About Zagreb,Croatia
The capital of a relatively new country - Croatia became an independent state in 1991 - Zagreb
can trace its roots far back into medieval times, when the hilltop communities of Kaptol to the east and Gradec to the west were separated by a river.
Today, visitors to Zagreb can walk along Tkaleiaeva, which follows the former route of that
ancient river. Indeed, Zagreb's popular street is the divider between Kaptol and Gradec, now the city's oldest neighborhoods. Kaptol is home to the city's awe-inspiring Cathedral and a phalanx of gracefull 19th century facades. Gradec, meanwhile, is the perhaps the most enchanting section of the city thanks to its quaint, squares, Baroque architecture, and excellent little shops and cafes.
More than nine centuries of culture shine through all over Zagreb, whether you are looking at
priceless art in the Mimara Museum or exploring countryside. Of course, Zagreb is far more than an Old world City. The Croatian capital boasts a youthful, vibrant spirit that is visible nearly ]everywhere you look, particularly the buzzing businesses of fashionable Trg Marsala Tita, one of the country's premiere shopping and entertainment districts.
