The State Archives in Zagreb

+385 1 48 07 150

The State Archives in Zagreb was established in 1907 as the Zagreb City Archives, and it was managed by a society called Braća hrvatskog zmaja (The Bretheren of the Croatian Dragon). In 1947 it moved to a beautiful 19th-century Erdödy-Drašković palace in the Upper Town.

The State Archives in Zagreb is now a public institution of special importance for the Republic of Croatia, preserving material created by the administrative and public services, the judiciary, educational, social and health institutions, businesses, banking and monetary institutions, political parties, societies, organizations, as well as the material from family and personal collections spanning the period from 13th to 21st century.

The visitors can have a look around the palace courtyard from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., or take a guided tour of the building, permanent exhibition and the courtyard from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., by prior appointment on + 385 1 48 07 167. Admission is free.

    Zagreb is beautiful, but the people thrilled me the most. Everybody is so kind and outgoing. I could not wish for better hosts.

    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.

    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 like Lisinski very much. It was very intense to perform there, because people came, listened carefully and felt the music in their hearts. Lisinski is a beautiful concert hall, and I am very honored to be performing there. I have wonderful memories of my first performance in Lisinski.
