Monuments & Squares

Zagreb’s urban landscape is defined by a series of historic squares and public artworks that bridge the Upper and Lower Towns. This collection features the central Ban Jelačić Square, the political heart of St. Mark’s Square in the medieval Gradec district, and the modernist Eugen Kvaternik Square. Highlights include Ivan Meštrović’s bronze Well of Life at the Republic of Croatia Square and the intricate George and the Dragon statue near the Stone Gate, representing the city’s sculptural heritage.
