Why it is worth your time
In the quiet of Maksimir rises the Mogila, an earthen commemorative mound raised in 1925 for the millennium of the Croatian kingdom and the Third All-Sokol Rally. A lesser-known corner of the park, overgrown and solemn, holding a piece of national memory away from the main paths.
