The Goldsmith's Treasure (Croatian: Zlatarovo zlato) is a historical novel by Croatian novelist August Šenoa, among the most distinguished works of 19th-century Croatian literature as well as the most well-known piece of literature on Zagreb.[2] Set in 16th-century Zagreb, right after Croatian-Slovene Peasant Revolt, the novel depicts Zagreb's urban life, fall of nobility and rise of citizenry that is slowly taking over institutions of society, intertwined by a plot of forbidden youth love of Dora, a goldsmith's daughter, and Pavle, a nobleman.
