CroatiaThe City Museum of Zagreb has opened an exhibition titled 'Post-earthquake Archaeology of Zagreb,' showcasing archaeological findings discovered during the city's reconstruction efforts following the 2020 earthquake. These findings reveal previously hidden historical layers of Zagreb, including artifacts from 19 locations such as the Zagreb Cathedral, Franciscan monastery on the Kapitol, Carmelite convent in Remete, historic palaces in Upper Town, and churches in Stenjevec, Markusevac, and Cucur. The exhibition highlights the complexity of the reconstruction process, which involved both technical and cultural aspects. Culture and Media Minister Nina Obuljen Koržinek emphasized the collaborative effort involving architects, engineers, conservators, archaeologists, and art historians. The earthquake triggered reconstruction processes that might not have occurred otherwise, uncovering historical treasures that would have remained hidden. Deputy Mayor Luka Korlaet noted that the rebuilding efforts have made buildings more resilient and better equipped infrastructure-wise.
