Sažetak
The author deals with the urban development of Križevci up to the 15th century, until the development stage conditioned by King Sigismund s charter from 1405 and the building of the wall round the Lower town. The study of its urban development is based on the first data on various spatial and juridical subjects of the city, starting with the ones preceding ban Stjepan's charter (1252). Particular attention is focused on that document, which has been interpreted in various ways, and the author points out certain inadequacies in some of the earlier interpretations. The charter is regarded as a document founding a colonizing settlement; it embraces the present day Upper town, which however remains urban in terms of space and independent in law. Only at the end of the period under scrutiny can a typical architecture in the town be discussed, and then only by analyzing certain structural similarities among the dwellings. The question of the atypical position of the old parish church of the Holy Cross is raised again, and several possible answers offered.
