Lotrscak Tower

One of Zagreb’s oldest structures, Lotrščak Tower was built into the defense walls of the medieval settlement of Gradec, which was gradually absorbed into present-day Zagreb. The tower has been extended upwards over the centuries and today is a popular tourist attraction known for having some of the best views in the city. The walk up the 5-story spiral staircase is not for the faint of heart, but those who make the trek are rewarded with true panoramic views over both Upper Town and Lower Town, plus a glimpse of Croatian artwork exhibited on the lower floors. Every day at noon, the historic Grič Cannon is fired from the tower to commemorate its past use as a defense post.
