A place worth remembering
A clockmaker’s musical machines
The Zagreb City Museum lists the mechanical music automata of clockmaker and collector Ivan Gerersdorfer among the collections donated to the City of Zagreb. Its history page describes these donated collections as a separate section of the museum.[1]
Dolac moves from Harmica
According to the City of Zagreb, the city market Harmica once stood on today’s Ban Josip Jelačić Square, and the square’s redesign as a representative city centre required a move. Architect Viktor Kovačić proposed a site between St Mary’s Church and Kaptol, and the new Dolac market was ceremonially opened in 1930.[2]
A rail link between two levels
The Zagreb Tourist Board describes the funicular as linking the Lower and Upper Town. It gives the track length as 66 metres and calls it the world’s shortest public-transport funicular.[3]
