Love for Zagreb

Povrh starog Griča brda
kao junak lijep i mlad,
smjele glave, čela tvrda,
slavni stoji Zagreb-grad.
Živ ponosit
Jak prkosit,
Kad slobode plane boj.
Tko tu klik'o nebi:
'Slava, slava tebi,
Zagreb-grade divni moj'

August Šenoa is one of the most important Croatian writers who lived in 19. century. He was a true Zagrepčan, born in 1838., lived in Zagreb whole his life and at the end died here after some health problems after the Zagreb Great Earthquake in 1881. He was born in Vlaška street - a famous old street where I took this photo. I must say I really love it!
