Zagreb.

Zagreb The capital of Croatia, Zagreb is the political, economic, and cultural center of Croatia, as well as the largest city and municipality in the country. Zagreb is located at the intersection of the Adriatic Sea coast and Central Europe, and is an ancient Central European city. For centuries, it has been a center of science and culture, and today it is also a center of commerce and industry. Zagreb is located 122 m (400 ft) above sea level, on the southern slopes of Medvednica Mountain in northwestern Croatia, with the Sava River flowing through it. In the official 2011 census, the population of Zagreb was 792,875. Together with Zagreb County, the total population reached 1,110,517, making it the only metropolitan area in Croatia with a population of over one million. Zagreb has a long history (from Roman times to the present), and the name "Zagreb" first appeared in historical records in 1094 in the eastern Kaptol diocese. In 1845, Janko Kamauf became the first mayor of Zagreb. In 1945, with rapid population growth and urban expansion, Zagreb became the capital of Croatia and began to gain international recognition. Zagreb has a very special status in the national administrative division (municipality). It is divided into 17 districts, most of which are located in the Sava River Valley below sea level. Zagreb is an important transportation hub in the country, Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and Southeastern Europe, and has international trains to other countries. The city has trams and convenient transportation.
