Yes, the name is for real, and it dates back from the beginning of 16th century when this place was first time mentioned.
Many tiny towns and villages in northern and western Croatia hold this prefix Sveti/Sveta (Sveta Jana, Sveti Ivan Zelina, Sveti Martin na Muri, Sveta Marija etc.)

:cheers:

15.000 ppl living in the town, while the greater area/surrounding villages might reach up to 30.000 :D

I know about adding Saint to the name of the city. But i never have seen a name Holy Sunday.

thanks for the info

:okay:

Beautiful baroque town . Love that architecture .
It's on the border with Slovenia and also the wealthiest region in Croatia .
It even looks like Slovenia.

Wealthiest part of Croatia? Not quite sure about that, although, the town is quite prosperous because it's pretty close to Zagreb, and wasn't affected by wars in the 90's. Anyway, the closer you go to Slovenian or Hungarian border, the poorer it gets - same goes for the border parts in eastern Croatia.

Speaking of the town looking Slovenian, didnt understand what you meant by that (?)

:cheers:

I mean the arcitecture - buildings and church bell tower, look like in any Slovenian town.
have never been to continental Croatia - only visited the coast . it looks very different.

Oh i see what you mean. then you should visit continental Croatia as well, and see it yourself ;)

there's Karlovac thread i opened a little while ago, the place is not as cute as Samobor + didnt get a chance to take more pics cuz was freezing cold, but will give you an idea of a typical town in continental Croatia :)

Thanks Bubach. Always showing Croatian places in their full glory. :okay:

You should post pics of Varazdin .
I've heard it's the most baroque city in Croatia. That would be interesting to see.

welcome :)

if there were no piles of dirty snow and ice, cracked asphalt and this gloomy atmosphere, that could be considered "full glory" ;)

Varazdin is coming soon as well :)

Nice!Really a charming city!

Nice pics BH :okay:

Great pictures Bubach. I've never been to either of this cities, only passed a couple of times thru Karlovac and Rijeka, it's good to see how they actually look away from main roads.
Keep up the good work and hurry up with Varazdin. That's the place i've been to.

:cheers1:

Deco manite se glupavih provokacija,

@igor, ono sto si boldovao su imena meseca na hrvatskom, Januar, Februar i tako redom do Decembra.. uostalom lako bi mogao da nadjes isto to i na googleu.

@hlubach, igor je koristio beogradski sleng, fensi = fancy itd...

mada ono je nista drugo no zacetak besmislenog flame wara tako da su ti postovi otisli. Diskutujte o slikama i manite se budalastina ;)

@thread uopste

Slike su fine, ipak mi mesto deluje relativno uspavano, mislim da je to zbog blizine ZG.a ? Nema toliki "vibe" kao Rijeka npr :)

Ma sve okay, Stevan. Samo mi lagano idu na njeznik (:D)) sve te tihe provokacije. Ne mozes otvoriti jedan hebeni photo thread a da netko ne uskoci s priglupim i prozirnim "forama". Mislim, kakve hebene veze ima jezik sa slikama Samobora (?) :sleepy:

Inace, Samobor nije bas toliko umrtvljen kako je to ispalo na mojim fotkama. Temperatura taj dan se je kretala oko -10 (isto kao u Karlovcu) + maglustina, stoga sve izgleda ispunjeno nekakvim tmurnim pesimistickim nabojem kaj je naravno i rezultiralo "neispunjenim" ulicama ;)

:cheers:

I was once in Samobor during summer, u can barely move how many ppl are on the streets, I mean weekends, especially Saturday when I went was impossible to walk, so many ppl...

It is very nice present touristy town , during Christmas and Spring and Summer the town gets to life, there is famous glasswork in the town which are worth a visit, they produce some of the best crystal in Europe and I bought some for my mom's birthday, very nice...

I still have few left as I bought some extra for me, I use them when friends come around try to promote the glassworks, quite successfully I might add, as many actually bought Samobor Crystal over the net.. lol...

There is this Mountain Zumberak, it is very nice has superb view of Zagreb and Samobor, superb countryside for long walking and hiking...

Very Beautiful Looking City :okay:

Bubach super fotke, bravo!
Moje fotke sa fasnika su u ZGB - construction update 14

Klonirajmo i blubacha! Super uradak!
