Ban Jelačić Square

Trg bana Jelačića

Zagreb's central square, where the equestrian statue of Ban Jelačić and the Mančuševac fountain serve as the city's favorite meeting points.

The square is the hub of the city's transport and daily life, where nearly all the trams converge. At its center stands a bronze equestrian statue of Ban Jelačić, the 19th-century Croatian viceroy. At the southeast corner, the Mančuševac Fountain is said to be the origin of the city's name. The square is surrounded by buildings in Neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles. To the north, it leads to Dolac Market and the cathedral; to the west, it connects to Ilica Street. It's the perfect starting point for exploring the city on foot.
