This city center is dominated by a statue of the 19th-century governor of Croatia, which was removed by Tito in 1947 but restored in 1990 as an act of defiance.

I reached this main square traveling by tram from Bus station as my hotel is located just at walkable distance. An exciting and invigorating place to wander around, relax and explore the beautiful Zagreb from here. There is an imposing huge sculpture of Count Jelacic, a national hero, in whose memory the Square is named. The signages at one corner guide travellers with suitable directions to visit all the important Museums and other places of interest. With newspaper stands , cafes, icecream shops, all types of eateries, tram station,temporary market, cathedral and entrance point to famous Dolac, this is a true Centre that no one can miss.

The monument was done by Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn. It was placed at the square in 1866 and removed during communisst authorities in 1947. Returned in 1990 - unveiled on October 16th - Ban Jelačić's birthday. Josip Jelačić is considered Croatian national hero. This is point from where you would usually start sightseeing of Zagreb. This monument is one of the main symbols of Zagreb. It is "must see" in Zagreb.
