Epicenter
The main square of Zagreb has existed since the 17th century, featuring Josip Jelačić himself on a horse. The statue was installed in 1866, removed in 1947 but restored after the breakup of Yogoslavia in 1990.

These stairs are known as the Sea organ, since pipes beneath them form a musical instrument based on the rhythm of the waves.
