'Ghosts of Upper Town'
Walking the streets of Upper town in Zagreb often make one think of past times, events that unfolded way back when; I sometimes imagine people who've lived and died through the centuries. Looking at the place today, it seems that nothing much has changed, yet the changes are present on every step. Really slow changes but still changes.
An old building, the one next to the Parliament is currently in process of restoration. One wonders if is it possible that someone has left it to decay like this in this location. Strange are the ways of law, money and ownership.
Several hundred years old metal shutters are still in use. This is more about the tradition than protection for burglary even though it does help that, too. I doubt someone would profit greatly from stealing some souvenirs or robbing a half-empty office.
As a tourist attraction, "Ghost Tour" has been established a few years back. People stroll through these locations in the night and listen to spooky ghost stories. I've never taken the tour but from what I've heard, one can enjoy that quite a bit. Interested in ghosts anyone? However, nothing appears spooky enough during the day. :D
This legendary coffee shop is my destination for today. I'll sit for awhile, write a bit, think of the ghosts among us and simply rejoice the fact that I'm still not one of them.
Enjoy your day! :-)

These people are part of it. So also with society, and the environment around.
It's just that sometimes there are things that are positive and sometimes to things that are negative. Changes also exist that are natural anatomy of the body, there is also a scientific nature, that is with the will and desire as well as measurable planning.
Associated with humans, society , the country, the school, the school, the inside of it and the man himself. But do not want to change, it will change in this life. And this has been proven by various things happening in our society even in the international world. in a very fast era.If we do not respect then we will die.
Changes can not be avoided.Nothing is eternal in this world more than itself.Therefore no the other way, we have to change.Obviously in a positive direction.

Probably in every city in the world, there are legends about ghosts. Especially such stories are popular in tourist places. There are always a lot of daredevils who will say that they are not afraid of ghosts and do not believe in these stories. But nevertheless, they will not check it at night :)
There is no scientific confirmation of this phenomenon. Therefore, with certainty, it can be said that ghosts are guaranteed to exist in one place - human fantasy. People come up with many things and start to believe in them. So there are legends and myths. I'm sure that if in a moment people forgot about ghosts - then ghosts would cease to exist. But it is not exactly:)
Good day:)

I'm really glad that you and I both are not among the ghost tour today!
I love the photographs. Really representative of the place.
South of Tucson is a building said to be the oldest in North America. Saint Augustine, Florida also claims the title. Only the ghosts know for sure.
Thanks for another great post in the series.

"it seems that nothing much has changed, yet the changes are present on every step"
I like this line.I relate this sentence to my own thinking.We think the world has changed ,we too have to change with changing world.Actually, this world does not change ,we the human being has changed totally to a devil mind and bring unnecessary changes in this world for which we have to pay for it.But through this community we really bring changes which are actually needed in the present era.

Hola, @velimir
Buenos días.
Definitivamente que sí. Todos las ciudades y pueblos, construcciones grandes y pequeñas, carretera, calles y avenidas casí siempre tienen sus leyendas de fantasmas.
Transitar por ellas a veces no es del agrado de muchos. Sin embargo; siempre hay personas más osadas y que piden que por favor les salga el fulanito Gasparín (El fantasma Amigable). Jijijijijijiji.
Ahhhhhh. Resulta que se aparece el fantasma de Jack el Destripador o el Monje Loco.
Bellas las fotografías.
Saludos

Very interesting your post @velimir. As I walk the streets of my beloved Venezuela specifically in Guanare, I move to our ancestors, our ancestors. As you say how many dead throughout the centuries, how many stories, if the walls spoke, there would be many stories that would tell us and we would enjoy learning from our pasts, other experiences, knowing what it was like before, because the diaries are changing and changes are certain they are very necessary, but the memory of yesterday must always be in us.

Ah! The inevitable changes that exist in our very minds but not to the common man.
I like the painting used for the buildings but what I like more is the calm, quiet and near empty nature of the environment. If you think deeper, it's sounds like a consequence of the continuous presence and terrorism of ghouls.
Enjoy your coffee

I can’t get over the architecture of the area. I think that’s one of my favourite things about Europe. The buildings are so old and the architecture from the past still remains. It’s like being surrounded by history every where you go. If the walls could tell stories.

When walking through the old town in Zagreb I always think about Marija Jurić Zagorka and her books with all those characters that were there and I am really looking forward to spring and warmer weather so I could again take my little walks there. You took same great photos, good job!

Upper Town (Gornji Grad), is a beautiful part og Zagreb to be walked. Narrow streets, arts,folklor and souvenirs, St. Marcos square with the samename church, the Presidential Residence, the European Building, small museums, St. George on the hourse, St. Cathrine's chapel, small coffee-shops, the open-market and at the end nice views from the top.

Zagreb is the most popular tourist destination in mainland Crotia.
The Upper Town, the city's historic core, is home to many historic buildings and churches, including the city's two best known landmarks, the zegreb Cathedral and St. Mark's Church. The district is probably the most romantic part of town, with limited traffic, numerous landmarks, and the popular Strossmayer Promenade overlooking the city.
Travellers looking to explore the old part of town can join any of the guided walking tours that allow visitors to experience the hidden Zagreb, the city's history, urban legends, and even ghosts.

Changes are the part of life, EVerything changes with time.
Even our life also changes with time.
and it is necessary for us to accept the change if we want to Walk with the society.
Other we will left far behind, and no one will notice it.
As far as these old building concerns they are stronger than the buildings we are making nowadays.
