<description><![CDATA[Brave knights struggle for your attention. Their combat is just a part of the games they stage, so you need not worry about somebody getting hurt. However, they still manage to evoke the ambience of medieval tournaments of knights. Sparks fly under the blows of the swords, while the ladies, squires and pages hold their breath at each swing. In the knights’ camps one can see the entire arsenal of medieval weapons, colorful shields and metal costumes. If you get hungry, you will find refreshment in hot kasha made of the now almost forgotten cereals, or duck with honey prepared according to medieval recipes. A siege of the town, rocks flying from catapults and battering rams trying to break down the solid town gate - all this will take place right in front of you. You don’t have to be a mere observer at the Sveta Helena tournament, join in the games, test your archery skills, take a ride in a carriage or get on a horse.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Kravat Regiment is a Croatian light
cavalry regiment from the XVII century.
Except for the extraordinary heroism of
its soldiers, the cavalry was recognisable
for the picturesque scarves worn
around the neck by its soldiers as part
of their uniform, after which the tie is
named. The scarf, worn in a knot, quickly
became a fashion accessory and was
known by the ethnic name of the Croats;
as Krobatten in Germany and as Cravate
in France. Through the establishment in
1664 of the Croatian regiment, the Royal
Cravattes, in the French Royal Army, the
cravat officially received a certificate of
originality. Tourists can learn more about
this and other stories if twenty minutes to
noon, they head toward the Upper Town.
Each guard change begins with a parade
and review of the guard’s arms. The ceremony
involves an entire formation of 12
soldiers and horsemen, after which they
separate and head for St. Mark’s Square
(side entrance to St. Mark’s Church), the
Ban Josip Jelačić square and the Statue of
Virgin Mary on Kaptol. They are accompanied
by armourers, trumpeters, drummers,
standard bearers and the commander. The
whole event gives tourists an insight into
the lost traditions of soldiers from the glorious
past.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As soon as the April sun finds its way through the remnants of the winter clouds, the streets of Zagreb become the venue for a whole array of happenings which last until the autumn chills start, and which take us back through the history of the city. Walking through the streets of the Upper Town, the old part of Zagreb, you are certain to come across characters that made Zagreb famous – singers of old parlour ballads, bohemians or peasant women from the village of Šestine. Meanwhile, from the pavilion in the Zrinjevac park in the centre of town, the enchanting sounds of the waltz and tango will be heard again, just as depicted in old films and sentimental photographs.]]></description>
