Lost Places
Forgotten ruins and silent industry
Beyond the postcards, Zagreb keeps a quieter, haunted side: a tuberculosis sanatorium swallowed by the forest, a burnt steam mill, factory halls where thousands once worked. Follow this trail and you read the city's other history, the one written in rust and ivy.
