The capital of Hrvatsko Zagorje is Krapina. The city is often referred to as the cultural capital of the Kajkavian language (a dialect of the Croatian language). Every year, the Festival of Kajkavian Culture (Festival kajkavske popevke) takes place in Krapina. The Kajkavian dialect of the Croatian language is very similar to the Slovenian language.

Krapina is located in the hilly Hrvatsko Zagorje region of Croatia, approximately 55 km away from both Zagreb and Varaždin. The town is the centre and capital of the district with the hundreds year old tradition. Krapina as a town has been known since early 12th century. It has always been a favorite site for castles and other country houses of Croatian and Hungarian rulers. In late 19th century, on a hill called Hušnjak, in vicinity of Krapina, the archaeologist and paleontologist Dragutin Gorjanovi?-Kramberger found over eight hundred fossil (Krapinski Pracovjek) remains belonging to Neanderthals.
