Trg bana Josipa Jelačića, Zagreb // Josip Jelačić Square, Zagreb

Trg bana Josipa Jelačića je glavni zagrebački trg. Često se, u svakodnevnom govoru, naziva Jelačić plac.

Osim spomenika banu Josipu Jelačiću, Trg karakterizira Manduševac, vjerojatno najpoznatija fontana u Zagrebu i javni sat, omiljeno mjesto za sastanke - vidimo se pod satom!

Trg je svoje ime dobio po Josipu Jelačiću Bužimskom, banu, generalu i političaru.

From wikipedia
Ban Jelačić Square (Croatian: Trg bana Josipa Jelačića or Trg bana Jelačića, pronounced [bâːn jɛ̌lat͡ʃit͡ɕ]) is the central square of the city of Zagreb, Croatia, named after ban Josip Jelačić. The official name is Trg bana Jelačića. The square is colloquially called Jelačić plac.
It is located below Zagreb's old city cores Gradec and Kaptol and directly south of the Dolac Market on the intersection of Ilica from the west, Radićeva Street from the northwest, the small streets Splavnica and Harmica from the north, Bakačeva Street from the northeast, Jurišićeva Street from the east, Praška Street from the southeast and Gajeva Street from the southwest. It is the center of the Zagreb Downtown pedestrian zone.
The square has existed since the 17th century. Its first name was Harmica. The oldest standing building, dating from the 18th century, is situated at 1 Ban Jelačić Square.[1]
In 1848, the square was renamed to its present name.[1] A large statue of ban Josip Jelačić on a horse, created by Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn was installed on 19 October 1866 by Austrian authorities, despite protests from Zagreb councilmen.[citation needed] It also caused unease amongst Hungarians, who see Jelacic as a traitor.
A horsecar line passing through the square's southern side was introduced in 1891. In 1910–11 horses were replaced by electric trams.[1]
In 1946, the square was renamed Trg Republike (Republic Square).[1] Jelačić's statue was removed in 1947 as the new Communist government of Yugoslavia denounced him as a servant of foreign interests.[2] Antun Bauer, a curator of the Gliptoteka gallery, kept it in the gallery cellar.
After World War II, car traffic through the square intensified. In 1975, the square became a car-free zone.[1]
The 1987 Summer Universiade (World University Games) was held in Zagreb. The city used the event to renovate and revitalize the city.[3] The square was repaved with stone blocks and made part of the downtown pedestrian zone. A part of the Medveščak stream, which had been running under the sewers since 1898, was uncovered by workers. This part formed the Manduševac fountain that was also covered in 1898.
On 11 October 1990, during the breakup of Yugoslavia and after 1990 elections in Croatia, and Jelačić's historic role has again been considered positive and the statue was returned to the square but on the north portion facing the south. The name of the square has again been changed to his second name, after Josip Jelačić.
Jelačić Square is the most common meeting place for people in Zagreb. Being a part of the pedestrian zone, it is inaccessible by car, but it is the main hub for trams. ZET tram lines 1, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17 traverse it by day, and 31, 32 and 34 by night.
The present-day square features buildings belonging to different architectural styles ranging from classicism, secession and modernism. Many of them have antique façades which require renovation. This makes them a common target for advertisers, who cover the construction work with large posters.
The square features the Manduševac fountain located in its eastern part. The square is adorned with Christmas trees and lights at Christmas.

Ryeberg Home Movie: Ban Jelačić Square, Zagreb, Croatia

Startling ending to this video! It starts in September, 2014, and ends in another age. The setting is Zagreb's main square, named after Count Josip Jelačić of Bužim, who is known for abolishing serfdom in Croatia in 1848. You can see the man in the form of a sculpture, atop a horse, a monument that was removed by the Communist government in 1947, and restored to its place in 1990.

Zagreb In Your Pocket - Jelačić Square (Trg bana Josipa Jelačića)

Count Jelacic Square (Trg bana Josipa Jelačića) is an Austro-Hungarian styled square and the true centre of the city. There's a phenomenal variety of cafés, shopping, feeding and people watching everywhere. It was named after the impressive sculpture within its domain, that of Count Jelačić, his deadly steed, and a sword so pointy and sharp that it could poke your eye out. Our count's image has inspired a number of political outbursts: in 1947 it was dismantled and chucked into a corner somewhere because leaders found it overly representative of nationalism in the country. The year 1990 brought it back into its current place, this time leaders believing it perfectly nationalistic.

Ban Jelacic Square, Zagreb, Croatia - 360 Degree View

We made it to Ban Jelacic Square on foot from our hotel. With no map in hand, we asked strangers along the way for directions and the kind residents of Zagreb guided us along.

Ban Jelacic Square was full of activity. There was a group of singers from Macedonia putting on an impromptu performance, but mostly people were in the square just enjoying the beatiful Croatian sun.

Zagreb is relaxed compared to most Capital cities. The people are friendly more than willing to help out a lost tourist. Cafes are very popular in Zagreb, especially ones with outdoor seating. Sitting at an outdoor cafe, drinking a cappuccino, and smoking a cigarette seems to be a great pastime in Zagreb.

I enjoyed the slower pace of life in Zagreb, it's a place that I could easily live for a month or two. The natural beauty of the city almost makes it appear to be a real life Disney World. Except the experience is 100% authentic!
