Sažetak
Analysis of human skeletal remains from the 16th century archaeological site of Park Grič in Zagreb, Croatia discovered 6 cases of syphilis. Venereal syphilis was present in 5 adults of both sexes. Additionally, one case of congenital syphilis was observed in an adolescent. The documented cases represent the earliest appearance of this disease in Zagreb, occurring at roughly the same time as the outbreak of syphilis in Europe. In this period Zagreb area witnessed numerous conflicts resulting from civil war and Ottoman expansion. Foreign soldiers participating in these battles were stationed in the city itself and surrounding area. Described circumstances induced the spread of syphilis, initiated by soldiers, in the local population.
