Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, Zagreb

Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, commonly referred to as Zrinjevac, is a central and prominent area in Zagreb. Covering an area of about 12,540 square meters, it is surrounded by important buildings such as Croatia's Supreme Court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, and the Zagreb Archaeological Museum. This square bears the name of Nikola Šubić Zrinski, who was a Croatian-Hungarian nobleman and military leader. He served as the Ban of Croatia from 1542 to 1556 and was a member of the prominent Croatian noble families Zrinski and Kurjaković. During his lifetime, the Zrinski family rose to become the most influential noble family in the Kingdom of Croatia.

Situated close to the central Ban Jelačić Square and on the way to the Main Railway Station, Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square is a key part of Zagreb's Green Horseshoe. This is a network of seven squares in the Lower Town area. The southern section of the square features busts of important Croatian figures, including Julije Klović, Andrija Medulić, Fran Krsto Frankopan, Nikola Jurišić, Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski, and Ivan Mažuranić.

A notable feature of the square is its music pavilion, established in 1891 as a gift from Eduard Prister, a wealthy trader. The square, with its well-maintained gardens, old trees, and beautiful fountains, serves as a favorite leisure spot for locals. Visitors often enjoy leisurely walks along its tree-lined paths or relax on benches, taking in the serene environment, fountain views, and the scent of fresh flowers.
