Stop 1

„It was the year 903, when trouble befell our Croatia. Hedervary raised the Hungarian flags, trying to forcefully Hungarianize our Croatia. Rise, oh Ban, Croatia calls you, calls you. Rise, Ban Jelačić!

There isn’t a hero, there isn’t a Croat, like Jelačić the Ban was. But now the black earth hides him, and green grass has covered his grave“ – the lyrics of the well-known patriotic song in honor of today’s most famous inhabitant depicted on the central square in Zagreb, Ban Jelačić Square.

At the turn of the 20th century Tkalčićeva Street was the main centre for brothels. At one stage every other building was a bordello. Today the street is one of the most popular Zagreb attractions full of cafes and bars.

St Mark’s Square constitutes the heart of the Upper Town, having formerly served as the main market square of the settlement of Gradec. Dominating the square is the 13th-century Church of St Mark, a three-isled Romanesque church which still retains much of its original shape.
