Abstract

Kamenita vrata nekada su bila samo gradska vrata, odnosno dio obrambenoga sustava podignutoga u zaštitu Gradeca, a danas su veliko zagrebačko svetište. Kula kod Kamenitih vrata dobiva na značenju nakon požara koji je zahvatio Zagreb 31. svibnja 1731. Tada se požar proširio Opatičkom ulicom, kroz Kamenitu ulicu, sve do Jezuitske ulice. Vatra je zahvatila i Kamenita vrata na čijem se prvom katu u stanu, gdje je izgorjelo čitavo drveno pokućstvo, nalazila i slika Blažene Djevice Marije. Izgorio je samo njezin okvir, a slika je preživjela u potpunosti te je udovica Modlar odlučila financirati izgradnju oltara pod svodom gradskih vrata. U tom trenutku slika postaje dio javne gradske pobožnosti. Slika prikazuje Bogorodicu s Djetetom u naručju. Nose ju dva anđela, a sa strane su kipovi svetoga Petra i Pavla. Danas slika stoji iza željezne ograde koju je izradio Ivan Juraj Chorta 1758. godine. Prigodom dvjestote obljetnice kobnoga požara u Zagrebu, 1931. godine, Bogorodici i Djetetu postavljene su zlatne krune. Svetište je preživjelo i nekoliko pokušaja rušenja, a 1999. godine odlučeno je da je 31. svibnja dan grada Zagreba, a njegova zaštitnica Majka Božja od Kamenitih vrata kada gradom ujedno prolazi i velika procesija od Katedrale do svetišta. Kamenita vrata proglašena su i zaštićenim kulturnim dobrom, a 2018. godine provedena je njihova posljednja obnova.

Abstract (english)

The Stone Gate used to be just the City Gate, respectively part of the defensive system elevated in the defence of the Gradec, and today it is great Zagreb's sanctuary. Tower next to The Stone Gate gets at the meaning after the fire which seized the Zagreb on 30th May, 1731. The fire expanded on the street Opatička, through street Kamenita, all the way to the Street Jezuitska. The fire also seized The Stone Gate. All wooden furniture burned on the first floor where was the picture of Blessed Virgin Mary. Framework was the only thing that burned, and the picture survived completely. The widow Modlar decided to finance the construction of the altar under the vault of the City Gate. At that moment, the picture becomes the part of the public city piety. The picture shows Virgin with the Child in her arms. She is carried by two angels, and on the sides are statues of Saint Peter and Paul. Today, the picture is behind an iron fence which was built by Ivaj Juraj Chorta in 1758. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the fatal fire in Zagreb, in 1931, Virgin and the Child were given golden crowns. The sanctuary survived a few attempts of demolition, and in 1999 it was decided that the 31th May is the day of city Zagreb, and its patroness is Lady of the Stone Gate. On that day there is a big procession from the Cathedral to the sanctuary. The Stone Gate has been declared protected cultural property, and in 2018 was its last renovation.
