Lotrščak Tower

Lotrščak Tower was built in the thirteenth century beside the southern gate of medieval Gradec and remains one of the clearest surviving elements of its defensive system. Additional storeys were added over time, and the tower is now especially known for the Grič Cannon, which traditionally fires to mark noon. Its position beside Strossmayer Promenade gives broad views towards the Lower Town, while Zagreb’s funicular terminates nearby. When interior access is available, climbing the tower offers a useful overview of the city’s layout; even without entering, it serves as an excellent landmark when exploring the Upper Town on foot.
