Sažetak
In the district of the Zagreb Archdiocese, besides the cathedral, there are also other ecclesiastical- cultural institutions, which in their inventories possess first class cultural and artistic works not only within the framework of Croatian art history, but also within the framework of the World. For example, the Treasury of the Zagreb Cathedral keeps an embroidered cover from the 17th century, which is, as such, unique in world art. Furthermore, the Metropolitan Library, which was founded as a part of the Treasury, contains a huge number of rare church books and incunabula, the oldest of which dates back to the eleventh century. The Diocesan Museum of the Zagreb Archdiocese also contains a significant collection of Baroque paintings, among which there are many paintings of Jesus, the Madonna and other saints. Thus, the history of the city of Zagreb cannot be investigated without consulting the Archdiocese Archives in Zagreb. There is also Museum of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac, where one can learn more about the significance of the blessed one for the Church, but also for Croatia. In addition to the mentioned institutions, one cannot omit the chapel of St. Demas (Penitent Thief), popularly known as “Dizmuš”. Considering the importance of the mentioned institutions, the author provides an overview of basic information about them.
