Zagreb has a special status as an administrative division of Croatia. It is a combined city and county (but separate from Zagreb County), administratively subdivided into 17 municipal districts. Most of them are located in low-elevation areas along the Sava Valley, while the northern and northeastern urban areas such as Podsljeme and Sesvete are located at the foot of the Medvednica mountain, making the geographic image of the city more diverse.
