Why it is worth your time
In Trešnjevka stands the empty shell of the former Nada Dimić textile factory, which employed thousands before collapsing in the post-socialist transition. For years it has been a stage for civic activism and art actions: a reminder of vanished industry and of what remains when the factories fall silent.
Croatia Atlas tip
Admire the industrial facade from the street: interiors are derelict and access is restricted and unsafe.
