About This Location

In The Trial (1962), Orson Welles turns Kafka’s world into a succession of unsettling spaces. The square in front of Zagreb Cathedral on Kaptol was among the Zagreb exteriors used in the film, starring Anthony Perkins as Josef K.

Pause on the square and look at the cathedral façade and the arrangement of the surrounding buildings. The exterior connects today’s walk with Welles’s images.
