Trg Bana J.Jelacica (Ban J.Jelacic Square) has been a square since the 17th century. The all buildings surrounding it today were built in last two hundreds years in variety of styles, from Classicism and Secession to Modernism.
According to a legend, Zagreb got its name from a chance meeting at this square, when a viceroy called out to a girl standing near the well: "Manduso ZAGRABI (scoop), and that is how the well came to be named Mandusevac, and the town Zagreb.
When visiting Zagreb, most of the tourist start walking tour at this point.

We visited 'Trg bana Jelacica', a plaza located at the center of the city that night. It could be a perfect place for street performers, but people only pass by there. I felt that it was a beautiful place but something was missing
Things to see...stone gate

From Trg Bana Jelacica (named after the Croatian hero and viceroy who defeated the Hungarians in an uprising in 1848 - his monument is in the square) turn right and into the first street on the left to see the twin neo-Gothic spires of St. Stephen's Cathedral, built in 1899. The baroque Archbishops' Palace is attached to the cathedral. Nearby is the colourful Dolac market, the main market in Zagreb, which is definitely worth visiting. You can have an inexpensive meal in one of the fast-food kiosks close by. Walk along Tkalciceva Ulica towards the upper town and you will come to the 13th century Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata) with a painting of the Virgin Mary which miraculously escaped the great fire of 1731 and is a place of pilgrimage.

In Zagreb there'are soma beatiful church, here I'd like to advice you of my preferred: The Cathedral and The St. Marko. The first one is the most important and big religious center of Croatia, but unfortunally I have no photo of it, because there were some maintenance works on it. The second one is a very beautiful church, it isn't very big but very nice. I'd like very much the roof of it becouse is plenty of mosaics, how you can see in the photo.
Kaptol - The Cathedral

The very same spot in a different season. This picture was taken in the first week of January 2003, Zagreb was covered by the snow. We use to say "beli Zagreb grad" (the White Zagreb) for our town. That nickname dates from the begining of the 20th century and was given because of the white coloured facades of the houses. Nowadays, it nickname suits to the town only when covered by the snow.
