About Križevci
Križevci is a small historic town of about 10,500 people at 140 metres, where the southern part of the Kalnik hills begins. It grew from two settlements, Upper and Lower Križevac, which Maria Theresa joined in 1752, hence the plural name. For its size it has a lot of churches, nine in all, among them the Greek Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, seat of an eparchy since 1789, and the Gothic Church of the Holy Cross with an 18th-century marble altar by Francesco Robba. The former synagogue of 1895 is now an information centre for visitors. The homes are not in the town but on the southern slopes of the Kalnik hills.
