At the end of the paper we analyzed key tourist sites and cultural customs and assessed their cultural and development potential. Gračani originally originated as a settlement of peasants belonging to the free city of Gradec. The name Gracani is also thought to come from the name Gradec. They are first mentioned in 1334 in the list of villages that had to pay one tenth to Kaptol. Along with Dedići, the citizens of Gračan were the largest village that belonged to Gradec, but there were disputes over the estate of Gračan, Gradec, Kaptol, Peretskin peacocks and the lords of Medvedgrad. In 1590, the earthquake devastated Medvedgrad, and after that an agreement was reached whereby part of the Graz peasants were returned to Gradec. In 1848 farming was abolished and the former serfs became free peasants and owners of their houses and estates. In 1850, Gradec and Kaptol were united, creating the city of Zagreb, which expanded rapidly with the advancement of industry in the second half of the 19th century. The most important cultural resources / attractions of Gracan, highlighted in this paper are the church of Sv. Mihaela, Vila Rebar, Croatian Peasant Singing Society "Podgorac", Primary School, Carnival customs in Gračani and other economic and service potential of Gračan.
