This chic apartment in the romantic Upper Town is a real treat for those who want to sense Zagreb as it once was. It lies in the jewel of the City, the former borough of Gradec, which is the oldest part of the city, together with the neighbouring Kaptol. These two boroughs had been engaged in tough skirmishes once. Later they united into one city that spread further down to the South.

The apartment Red overlooks the beautiful neo-gothic Cathedral and Stone gate, the only preserved town gate of the original four. Although it is first mentioned as early as in Middle Ages, its current shape dates back to 1760, when the baroque Chapel of Holy Mother of God was built in its gateway around an old painting of a local artist. The painting miraculously survived the great fire that destroyed all wooden parts of the gate in 1731. Ever since, many people have been gathering in front of the miraculous painting daily, lighting candles in the honour of Our Lady and praying.
