Maksimir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maksimir is one of the neighborhoods of Zagreb, Croatia. Maksimir stadium and Park Maksimir are located in it. It was named after the bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovac.
The "center" of the Maksimir neighborhood is the Kvaternik square, named after Eugen Kvaternik. The square is now being renovated, so an underground parking complex can be built to solve part of Zagreb's traffic problems . The local newspapers are called "Maksimir, moj kvart" (in croatian: Maksimir, my neighborhood).
The Maksimir park is one of the biggest parks in Zagreb, it also contains a Zoo (which is the second largest one in Croatia) and five lakes also called the Maksimir lakes.
