Culture and History

A statue of Archbishop Ivan Prenđa stands in the square at the beginning of the road leading to the parish church of Sv. Josipa radnika. The mural is titled “Srce sam tebi dao i nije mi žao.”

In the part of Zemunik Gornji crossed by the Kalmetina road, there is a new mural dedicated to Hajduk. It was created by local Hajduk supporters; its presentation brought residents and fans together. Funding was secured for equipping a children’s playground at the Športsko rekreacijski centar Zemunik Gornji.

The branch church of Sv. Josipa radnika in Zemunik Gornji belongs to the Kraljica mira – Kraljica Hrvata parish and was consecrated on April 27. In recent years, investments have been made in the restoration of the church. Its patronal dedication is to Saint Joseph the Worker. The church, initially dedicated to Saint George, became the parish church of the medieval villages of Podberjane and Starovšane in the 13th century; these correspond to present-day Gornji Zemunik.
