Kula Lotršćak

  Kula Lotršćak, perched just outside the Upper Town in Zagreb, has stood tall since the 13th century, serving as a vital defense tower against invaders. It's renowned for its iconic cannon, which fires every day at noon—a tradition dating back to 1877, marking time for locals and tourists alike. This robust structure, part of the city’s historical fortifications, offers impressive views of the surrounding area from its upper vantage point. Visitors can also explore a small museum inside, where they can learn about the tower's fascinating history. Be sure to visit in December, when the nearby streets come alive with festive holiday markets, adding to the charm of the area.
