Zagreb, Croatia is the type of city that you wouldn’t expect to have a chance to make much of itself, located as it is “in a location that always seems too near the edge of some bigger place that wants to gobble it up. [But] Zagreb has been an example of many styles of architecture and many theories of city planning.” The result is a city that provides a fascinating architectural look at the conflicts and resolutions of 19th- and 20th-century political struggle.
