Velika Gorica: Zagrebačka Ulica
The landscape around Velika Gorica is flat and built-up on the Turopolje plain south of the Sava River, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Zagrebačka Ulica is a principal urban corridor, lined with low-rise homes, shops and cafés rather than monumental architecture. Velika Gorica is the main town of Turopolje, a historic lowland region closely associated with traditional wooden chapels and timber houses. Its close relationship with Zagreb gives the city a metropolitan rhythm, while the plain extends south towards the wooded slopes of Vukomeričke gorice. Franjo Tuđman Airport, Zagreb’s main airport, is also located in Velika Gorica.
