Town Squares
Praska Street, in the lower part of old Zagreb, leads on to a
sequence of attractive park squares, each flaunting their own
attractions and worth a walking tour. Zrinski Square features a
music pavilion dating from 1895 and fountains, with the
Archaeological Museum at No.17. This square also features a row of
busts of distinguished Croatians and the palace of the Croatian
Academy of Arts and Sciences (1876), which houses the Strossmayer
Gallery of old masters. On Strossmayer Square is a monument to
bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, founder of the Academy, and several
other historic buildings.
Tomislav Square features the Art Pavilion, fronted by a monument
to Croatian Renaissance painter Andrija Medulic. King Tomislav
rises on horseback at the southern end of the square. Starcevic
Square is home to the City Library and Hotel Esplanade, and gives
access to the Botanical Gardens and Frane Bulic monument. In
Marulic Square the University Library building stands as a
magnificent example of Art Nouveau. Mimara Museum is on Roosevelt
Square, and the neo-Baroque Croatian National Theatre stands on
Marshal Tito Square.
