Human settlement in the area began in ancient times. There is evidence of frescoes in one of the prehistoric caves in the Medvednica Mountains above the city. Romans built south of the Sava River a town called Andautonia. But officially Zagreb counts its history from the 11th century when the Hungarian king Saint Ladislaus, founded in 1094 on the hill named Kaptol the colony of the church which is seen down the road. Nearly 150 years later, in the middle of the 13th century, Mongols invaded the city and robbed it. The few inhabitants who fled to the Medvednica Mountains returned and set up a new settlement on the Gradec hill near Kaptol. On this hill we will climb through a narrow alley named Tomiceva. On holiday days along the street stands are stalls selling local dishes. One of the local foods is a dish called Strukley. It originates in Zagorje, an area north of Zagreb. Struckley's foundation is dough, fresh cottage cheese and cream. Traditionally, the Strukli are prepared through deep cooking, but today most of the households are baking Strukli. Always serve it hot, it is a simple dish, but very rich in flavors and calories. Translated with Google Translate
