Natural stones, their origin and usage represent a segment of geoheritage. They not only represent natural value and beauty in their in situ areas but also bring their qualities closer to all of us in the ex situ places, where these stones are used. Knowledge about certain rock types, their age and origin, as well as exploitation methods, can give additional information on their importance and preservation. This knowledge should not be connected only with scientific work or displayed in museums but should be available daily to people of all ages and interests. Croatia is a country rich in sedimentary rocks due to its geological history. Therefore, natural stones represent valuable Croatian geoheritage and Zagreb urban geoheritage. Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is a city in which strong connection of the building stones used in the city and geology of the area can be seen from the historical usage of local rocks, mainly from the quarries in the area of the nearby Medvednica Mt. Other commonly used natural stones include mostly limestones, which are exploited from quarries in southern parts of Croatia (Istria and Dalmatia), like various types of rudist limestones (Veselje unito, Veselje fiorito, Rasotica), oncolytic and stylolithic limestones and Lithiotis limestones. Magmatic stone varieties are not exploited in Croatia, but their beauty, quality and common usage in modern times contribute to the geoheritage in general. This paper presents an overview of varieties of different natural stones, their usage and contribution to Croatian geoheritage and their potential for the promotion of urban geoheritage and geotourism in the City of Zagreb.

萨格勒布市（克罗地亚）中天然石的用途及其地质旅游方面

天然宝石，其来源和用途代表了地质遗迹的一部分。它们不仅在原地代表自然价值和美丽，而且在使用这些石材的异地环境中，它们的品质更加接近我们所有人。有关某些岩石类型，其年龄和起源以及开采方法的知识可以提供有关其重要性和保护性的其他信息。这些知识不仅应该与科学工作联系在一起，也不应该在博物馆中展示，而应该被所有年龄和兴趣的人们每天使用。由于其地质历史，克罗地亚是一个沉积岩丰富的国家。因此，天然石材代表了有价值的克罗地亚地理遗产和萨格勒布城市地理遗产。克罗地亚首都萨格勒布，这座城市中，从当地岩石的历史用途（主要是从附近梅德韦德尼察山地区的采石场）的历史使用中可以看出，该城市使用的建筑石材与该地区的地质有很强的联系。其他常用的天然石材主要包括石灰石，这些石灰石是从克罗地亚南部地区（伊斯特拉和达尔马提亚）的采石场开采的，例如各种类型的鲁迪斯石灰石（Veselje unito，Veselje fiorito，Rasotica），溶瘤和石灰石石灰石和Lithiotis石灰石。克罗地亚未开发岩浆石品种，但它们的美丽，品质和近代的普遍使用总体上促进了地质遗产。本文概述了各种天然石材的品种，
