Ban Jelacic's Monument
As it gets dark relatively early in Zagreb, you shouldn't
miss a stroll around the town in darkness. Some historical buildings and
squares of Zagreb are beautifully illuminated at night. Among them is
the Jelacic Square, the Croatian National Theatre and the Fortification
Towers near the cathedral.
Gornji grad or the Upper Town
Gradec or Gornji grad was proclaimed a free and royal
city in 1242. Some remains of the ramparts that once surrounded the city
are still visible. The Baroque reconstructions that the city underwent
in the 17th and 18th century changed the shape of Gradec. In 1890 the
two separate units, Kaptol and Gradec have been unificationed into the
united city of Zagreb. Gorni grad is accessible by 66 meters long historical
funicular.
