Velika Gorica

Among the cities of Zagreb County, Velika Gorica stands out for its place in Turopolje, the lowland region south of Zagreb. The city lies near the Sava River, whose broad floodplain has long shaped settlement and farming across this part of central Croatia. Velika Gorica is closely associated with Turopolje’s timber-building tradition: the wooden Chapel of St Barbara in nearby Velika Mlaka, built in 1642, is a noted example. The 18th-century Lukavec Castle south of the city recalls the local noble community that once administered Turopolje. Franjo Tuđman Airport also makes Velika Gorica an important transport point for the Zagreb area. Browse other webcams across Zagreb County to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
