Tips
This beautiful chapel, near the summit of Medvednica, is known as Majke Božje Sljemenske, Kraljice Hrvata (Mother of God of Sljeme, the Queen of Croatia). Constructed in 1932 and designed by architect Jurje Denzler, it's inspired by Croatian motifs and evokes the first Croatian statues from Dalmatia. The chapel's altar is made of Brač stone, just like parts of Washington DC's White House.

Very nice chapel at the foot of the Sljeme peak, which is dedicated to the Mother of God.
