10 Things to do in Zagreb, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Our travels in Croatia brought us to Zagreb known for its lively street markets, vast green spaces, and varied architecture that spans numerous movements, we reached the capital and hit the ground running. In this video we’re going to show you some fun things to do in Zagreb, as well as share our favourite place for sampling the most delicious truffle dishes:
From the main square you have the Flower Market, and if you head up the steps, that leads to Zagreb’s Central Market.
Zagreb Cathedral is one the city’s main landmarks. This is the largest sacral building in the Gothic style southeast of the Alps, and it’s pretty easy to spot the spires wherever you are in the city.
Our walk through the Upper Town eventually lead us to Tkalčićeva. These days you’ll find a lively street lined with restaurants, cafes and bars.
We reached what may be the most memorable museum in the whole world: The Museum of Broken Relationships. The museum is a global crowd-sourced project that deals with heartbreak. Inside you’ll find curious objects with a corresponding story.
St. Mark’s Church bears the medieval coat of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left-hand side, and the emblem of Zagreb on the right.
To enjoy city views of the Lower Town there are some great vantage points along the promenade.
On our way down from the Upper Town, we walked through Zagreb’s famed Stone Gate. Once the eastern gate into the medieval settlement now houses a small chapel.
Let’s take a break from all the sightseeing to introduce you to one of our favourite restaurants in Zagreb when it comes to truffle dishes
And craving more views of the city, we then went up Zagreb 360.
Known as the Green Horseshoe, this park was named after Milan Lenuci who came up with the idea of creating connected green spaces right in the downtown. The horseshoe is home to several museums, galleries and archives.
If you’re into hockey and you visit Zagreb during the season, you can catch a game in the city. We watched Medveščak Zagreb play.
And that’s it for our visit to Zagreb! We hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that you got a few ideas of things to see, eat and do on your own visit.

Places to see in ( Bologna - Italy ) Basilica di San Domenico
Places to see in ( Bologna - Italy ) Basilica di San Domenico
The Basilica of San Domenico is one of the major churches in Bologna, Italy. The remains of Saint Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers, are buried inside the exquisite shrine Arca di San Domenico, made by Nicola Pisano and his workshop, Arnolfo di Cambio and with later additions by Niccolò dell'Arca and the young Michelangelo.
Dominic Guzman, on arriving in Bologna in January 1218, was impressed by the vitality of the city and quickly recognized the importance of this university town to his evangelizing mission. A convent was established at the Mascarella church by the Blessed Reginald of Orleans. As this convent soon became too small for their increasing number, the preaching Brothers moved in 1219 to the small church of San Nicolò of the Vineyards at the outskirts of Bologna. St. Dominic settled in this church and held here the first two General Chapters of the order (1220 and 1221). Saint Dominic died in this church on 6 August 1221. He was buried behind the altar of San Nicolò.
Between 1219 and 1243 the Dominicans bought all surrounding plots of land around the church. After the death of Saint Dominic, the church of San Nicolò was expanded and a new monastic complex was built between 1228 and 1240. The apsidal area of the church was demolished and the nave was extended and grew into the Basilica of Saint-Dominic, This church became the prototype of many other Dominican churches throughout the world.
The church consists of a central nave, two lateral aisles, several side chapels, a transept, a choir and an apse. The interior was completely renewed in Baroque style with refined elegance and well-balanced proportions by the architect Carlo Francesco Dotti (1678–1759). In the lunettes above the Ionic columns along the nave we can see 10 paintings, depicting episodes (true and untrue) in the history of the church. The first two are by Giuseppe Pedretti (1696–1778), the others by Vittorio Bigari (1692–1776).
This monumental choir was moved behind the high altar in the 17th century. The original altar was a masterpiece decorated with basreliefs and nine sculptures by Giovanni di Balduccio (1330), a pupil of Giovanni Pisano. Now only the statue of St Peter the Martyr still exists and is on display in the City Museum. The present high altar was made by Alfonso Torreggiani (died 1764). In the middle of the golden altar-piece at the back of the apse, is the Adoration of the Magi by Bartolomeo Cesi, flanked by paintings (on its left side) of Saint Nicholas of Bari and (on its right side) of Saint Dominic. Below is the Miracle of the Bread by Vincenzo Spisanelli.
The three-aisled Renaissance library, the Biblioteca of San Domenico, planned like a basilica and built by Gaspare Nadi, dates back to 1469 and contains many precious books. Part of the library complex is now the seat of the faculty of philosophy and theology, run by the Dominicans. Another part is used as a conference room with a wooden-paneled coffer ceiling. At its end hangs the Baroque painting Ecstasy of St. Thomas Aquinas by Marcantonio Franceschini.

Pisa, qualcosa di nuovo è accaduto! something new has happ
La torre è più...
I lavori iniziarono il 9 agosto del 1173, che secondo il calendario pisano era il 1174, in quanto l'anno iniziava il 25 marzo. Alcuni studi tra i più recenti attribuiscono la paternità del progetto a Diotisalvi, che nel solito periodo stava costruendo il Battistero, o Gherardo di Gherardo, mentre secondo il Vasari i lavori furono iniziati da Bonanno Pisano.
La tesi del Vasari è basata sul ritrovamento nelle vicinanze della torre di una pietra tombale col nome del Bonanno, che oggi si trova murata nell'atrio della torre; inoltre nell'Ottocento fu rinvenuto sempre nei dintorni un frammento epigrafico di materiale rosa, probabilmente un calco su cui venne fusa una lastra metallica, che attualmente trova collocazione sullo stipite della porta di ingresso dell'edificio. Su tale frammento si legge, ovviamente rovesciato: cittadino pisano di nome Bonanno.
La prima fase dei lavori fu interrotta a metà del terzo piano, a causa del cedimento del terreno su cui sorge la base della torre. La cedevolezza del terreno, dovuto alla presenza di numerose falde acquifere, è la causa della pendenza della torre. I lavori ripresero nel 1275 sotto la guida di Giovanni di Simone e Giovanni Pisano, aggiungendo alla costruzione precedente altri tre piani. Nel tentativo di raddrizzare la torre, i tre piani aggiunti tendono ad incurvarsi in senso opposto alla pendenza. La torre fu completata alla metà del secolo successivo, aggiungendo la cella campanaria.
Dalla sua costruzione ad oggi lo strapiombo è in generale aumentato ma nel corso dei secoli ci sono stati anche lunghi periodi di stabilità o addirittura di riduzione della pendenza. Nel 1992 lo spostamento dalla sommità dell'asse alla base è stato valutato in circa 5,20 metri (era 4,86 secondo quanto riportava il Corriere della Sera nel 1989[1]).
Durante i recenti lavori di consolidamento, iniziati nel 1990 e terminati alla fine del 2001, la pendenza della torre è stata ridotta tramite cerchiatura di alcuni piani, applicazione temporanea di tiranti di acciaio e contrappesi di piombo (fino a 900 tonnellate) e sottoescavazione, riportandola a quella che presumibilmente doveva avere 200 anni prima. La base è stata inoltre consolidata e, secondo gli esperti, questo consentirà di mantenere in sicurezza la torre per almeno altri tre secoli, permettendo così l'accesso ai visitatori. Trascorso questo tempo, la torre corre il serio pericolo di crollo.
È stata proposta come una delle sette meraviglie del mondo moderno.
