Overview

Lotrščak Tower, a prominent landmark in Zagreb, stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Constructed in the 13th century, the tower was part of the Gradec town wall, guarding the southern gate. Its name comes from the Latin 'campana latrunculorum,' meaning 'thieves' bell,' which signaled the closing of the city gates.Over the centuries, the tower has undergone several transformations. In the 19th century, it gained two additional floors and a wooden fire lookout. Today, visitors can explore the tower's interior, which includes an art shop on the ground floor and exhibition spaces on the upper levels.A highlight of the Lotrščak Tower is the Grič Cannon, which has been fired daily at noon since 1877. This tradition originally served to synchronize the city's church bells. Climbing to the top of the tower rewards visitors with panoramic views of Zagreb, encompassing the Zagreb Cathedral, St. Mark Church, and more.
