History
The low wet Turopolje plain south of Zagreb hides a scatter of tiny 17th-century wooden chapels — shingled roofs, painted beams, folk-baroque altars. St Barbara at Velika Mlaka is the loveliest; almost no tourists find them.
“St Barbara's chapel is decorated with folk paintings by anonymous village artists — including one panel showing a devil playing what appears to be an accordion.”
