Botanic Garden
This beautiful garden where you can relax and enjoy is located on Marko Marulić Square. It is a part of the “Green Horseshoe” – squares arranged in the letter “U” in Zagreb Lower Town – designed by architect Milan Lenuzzi. In this Botanic Garden you can find more than 10,000 species of plants that scientists research and protect because many of them are endangered.
Tomislav Square
This square is placed between the central railway station to the south and Art Pavilion to the north. There is a statue of King Tomislav, a park and a fountain. The author of statue is one of the biggest sculptors of the 19th century, Robert Fragneš-Mihanović. This green square is full of positive energy and it will make you feel relaxed and calm.
The Stone Gate
The Stone Gate is one the six gates of the medieval city of Gradec (today’s Zagreb Upper Town), but it is the only gate still standing. It was built in 1266 but took its current form in 1760. In the great fire of 1731 everything burned except the painting of Mother of God. Since then people have been going to light a candle and pray in the chapel in the passage, and Mother of God of the Stone gate has become the protector of Zagreb.
