When the Dolac Market was opened with a grand ceremony in 1930, it was one of the largest and most beautiful markets in Europe at the time, and it remains the largest and most well-known market in Zagreb today. At the very top of the left stairway leading to the market, there is a proud statue of a woman, a “kumica” holding a woven basket on her head. The statue is a permanent monument to the thousands and thousands of women from the areas surrounding Zagreb who would come to the city carrying baskets full of products from their gardens and farms every day, often walking for many kilometers with a heavy loads on their heads. So that the memory of the “kumice”, the hardworking guardians of the good spirit of old Zagreb, would not be embodied only in the form of a statue, you will be able to see women in folk costumes from Prigorje, who will help bring the memory of the thousands of women who have fed the citizens of Zagreb over the centuries back to life, at the Dolac from April to the end of September.

In the 17th century, during the Thirty Years’ War, the Croatian light cavalry, renowned for its exceptional heroism, joined the ranks of the French Army. Military skills and the original appearance of the Croatian soldiers were affirmed in 1664 with the founding of the Croatian regiment “the Royal Cravates” within the French Army. A special feature of their uniforms was a red scarf – a tie that girls used to tie around young men’s necks before going to war.
Tie, the essential fashion accessory of every man originates from those brave Croatian soldiers. The reinstated ceremony of the Changing of the Guard, based on the historical evidence, can be seen in predetermined attractive tourist locations – from St. Mark’s Square, Ban Jelačić Square to the statue of the Virgin Mary at Kaptol.
