From Wikivoyage

Križevci is a historic town in Central Croatia, northeast of Zagreb. Known for it's churches, Greek Catholic cathedral and wine-related traditions, it makes a convenient stop on the railway between Zagreb and Koprivnica.

Understand+

Križevci developed from two neighbouring settlements, the Upper Town and Lower Town, which were united in 1752. Its medieval history includes royal privileges, assemblies of the Croatian and Slavonian estates, and the notorious "Bloody Parliament" of 1397, when King Sigismund had political opponents killed.

The town proper had about 10,500 inhabitants in the 2021 census. Its historic center is compact, with squares, churches and older civic buildings connected by walkable streets.

Križevci is associated with the Križevački štatuti, traditional rules governing convivial gatherings, speeches and toasts. These customs form part of the town's best-known festival, Križevačko veliko spravišče.
