Medvedgrad is a 13th-century fortress on the southern slopes of Medvednica mountain, overlooking Zagreb from an altitude of 583 metres. Partially restored, it now serves as a memorial site and viewpoint with commanding views over the entire city and beyond.
Built between 1249 and 1254 after the Mongol invasion, Medvedgrad was a royal fortress controlling access to Zagreb. It was abandoned after earthquake damage in 1590 and left in ruins until partial restoration began in the 1970s.
