Interioredit
The landmark is located at Kamenita Ulica 3, in Zagreb's Upper Town. Inside is a shrine to God's Mother of the Stony Gate, a name used for Mary, Mother of Jesus when referring to her as the Patron Saint of the city of Zagreb. The shrine contains a gilded icon of Mary holding baby Jesus, which supposedly survived a fire that occurred in the shrine.[citation needed] The southern and eastern wall of the shrine contain prayers carved into marble. There is also a series of benches and a table to light candles for prayer.
In Croatian societyedit
The Shrine is considered a holy place among Catholics in Zagreb, who often come to pray to Mary at the location.
The Stone Gate is an important element of the historical romance novel Zlatarevo Zlato (The Goldsmith's Treasure), written by August Šenoa.[3][4] A small statue of one of the novel's main characters, Dora Krupić, is placed in the niche of the landmark. The sculpture was made by Croatian sculptor, Ivo Kedrić.[5]
