The Mestrović Pavillion

Ivan Mestrović, 1938, rotunda, the precursor of well known constructions, even the Guggenheim Museum in New York (1959), masterwork of Croatian Architecture.

Trg žrtava fašizma (“Victims of Fascism Square”) centres on Zagreb’s most unique exhibition space, the circular headquarters of the Croatian Artist’s Association.

Designed by the sculptor Ivan Meštrović in the 1930s, it was originally used as an exhibition pavilion before being turned into a mosque during World War II – complete with the addition of minarets.

After the war the minarets were dismantled and the building returned to its original function, although it is still referred to fondly as “the Mosque” by the locals.

I was very looking forward to coming to Zagreb, especially because my mother travelled with me. My people found out everything about it, so that we could see the main stuff in the city!

Jesse Eisenberg (actor) spent the autumn in Zagreb in 2007: Zagreb is an incredible town. I enjoyed sightseeing the old parts of the town, and at night I went to clubs. I was thrilled that it was near Austria and Italy, so I visited Venice, Milan, Ljubljana, Graz, Split... over the weekends.

I am looking forward to Zagreb as a destination where I always feel good. It seems it has been too long since the last time I was here, although it was just a year or so.
