Ban Jelačić Square 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.
Governor Jelacic Square in Zagreb is located in the city center and is a symbol of Croatia's struggle for national independence. During the Tito era, it was replaced by a statue of a guerrilla fighter. After Croatia's independence, Governor Jelacic rode a horse and waved a sword in the center of the square again.

Located in Zagreb, it has a low-profile appearance, but it is well-known all over the world. The exhibition hall is exquisite and clean. The tokens are fragmented, not surprising in appearance, and the buckwheat ends up in the exhibition hall. It is also a voluntary donation from lovelorn people all over the world. Even after breaking up, the old love has been deeply impressed, donated tokens, saved old love, no longer in the twilight and twilight, thus "forgetting each other in the river and lake" can be said to be "one is different, two are happy". Therefore, it is sad, but also unforgettable.
It's worth your time to visit. The ticket is 40 kuna. The ticket design is also very special. I kept it as a souvenir. There is a Chinese instruction manual for you. You can compare the story of each item to feel the real inner world of the person involved. And the story of the museum will continue to increase. This is a good idea!

The Stone Gate is the only medieval city gate in Zagreb that has survived. Built in the 13th century, it is guarded by a bronze statue of a warrior on horseback. Inside the gate is an altar to the Virgin Mary.
The Stone Gate is a symbol of Croatia. The light rail running through the city of Zagreb can take you directly to the Stone Gate attraction. There is no ticket required. It is said that there are several stone gates, but only this one has been preserved.

Croatia is not a big country, but it has a very good geographical location, rich resources and beautiful natural scenery. We were deeply impressed by our trip to Croatia and would go there again if we have the chance.
The capital of Croatia is Zagreb, a small but charming city. Croatia was once a republic of Yugoslavia, but it gained independence in the early 1990s and later went through a war.

St. Mark's Church is a Gothic building, the center of Zagreb and one of the oldest buildings. The roof has the emblem of Zagreb and the symbol of the Croatian Kingdom era. The church displays the works of sculptor Meštrović.
St. Mark's Church is the most famous attraction in Zagreb. The pattern on the top of the church is very similar to the Croatian flag. It is located in the upper town of the city. The attractions in this area are relatively concentrated. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to walk from the Zagreb Cathedral. It feels that there are not many people and it is empty. It is a holy place for taking photos.

Walking in the city of Zagreb, you will feel like Belgrade, Helsinki, Paris and London.
The most eye-catching street is the stone paving. If you think about it carefully, the paving in China is done by laying tiles flat on the ground. This kind of paving bricks cannot withstand pressure very well, and it is easy to see the tiles on the street smashed. The street surfaces in Europe, including the street surface in front of the Dasan Archway in Macau, are the same as those in Europe.
What is the difference? The streets in Europe are all stone standing up and inlaid on the ground. For comparison, our tiles are laid upright. Such a ground is hard, resistant to pressure, and not easy to break, but the materials used are more and the investment is large, but it can be used for a long time. It is estimated that the cost of this kind of paving is three to four times that of our ground.
So in Europe, the street surfaces we see in our photos are all neat stone pavements, and the checkered ground is the most eye-catching mark.
From the airport to the city of Zagreb, the most typical feeling is that it is like coming to Germany, with flags hanging everywhere. This kind of look easily reminds people of Berlin in Nazi Germany, where flags are hung everywhere, which is somewhat terrifying. The Third Reich gave the world nothing but terror.
For this reason, I realized that Germany🇩🇪 had an extraordinary influence on this country.
Later, the facts told me that the full circulation of the mark here confirmed that my expectations were true.
Zagreb is a pocket town
Walking in the city of Zagreb, there is a feeling like Belgrade, including Helsinki, Paris and London.
The most eye-catching street stone paving, think carefully, our Chinese paving is to lay the floor tiles flat on the ground, this kind of paving bricks cannot resist pressure very well, and it is easy to see the floor tiles on the street smashed. The street ground in Europe, including the street ground in front of the Dasan Archway in Macau, is the same as that in Europe.
What is the difference? The streets in Europe are paved with stones standing upright. For comparison, if we lay our floor tiles upright, the floor will be hard, resistant to pressure, and not easy to break, but it will require more materials and investment, and will last longer. It is estimated that the cost of this kind of paving is three to four times that of ours.
So in Europe, the streets we see in our photos are all neatly laid with stones, and the checkered floor is the most eye-catching mark.
