Introduction
Ban Jelačić Square is the heart of Zagreb's Lower Town, centred on the equestrian statue of 19th-century governor Jelačić, ringed by softly coloured buildings, trams and cafés — the city's busiest meeting point and transport hub. To the north, the cobbled Tkalčićeva Street climbs toward the Upper Town and St Stephen's Cathedral. On holidays the square hosts markets and ice rinks; day to day it is where locals stroll, meet and watch the city's pulse.
