What's up there, anyways?
Girl with a Bird, a gouache painting created by Marc Chagall, one of the most successful artists of the 20th century, who used a combination of art forms, such as cubism, symbolism, and fauvism when painting his portraits. And, speaking of art, no trip to this part of town is complete without visiting the Meštrović Atelier, where Ivan Meštrović - Croatia's most famous sculptor and artist - once lived with his family from the 1920s until 1942 when he left Croatia. It is here where he sculpted many of his works and it is here that you can see a great many of them today. From there, in the south eastern corner of Gornji Grad (it’s shaped like a triangle), right next to the Klovićevi dvori Gallery, is the Church of St. Catherine. This is the most beautiful Baroque church in Zagreb, and was built by the Jesuits in the period between 1620 and 1632. It is a single-nave church with six side chapels and a shrine. The chapels hold five wooden Baroque altars and one marble altar from 1729. The church was entirely rebuilt in all its glory following the 1880 earthquake, and designed by the main Zagreb architect of the time, Hermann Bollé.
