About This Place
Lotrščak Tower, a 13th-century medieval structure perched atop Grič Hill in Zagreb, is a captivating spot for families to immerse themselves in history. Housing a small museum that narrates the rich history of Grič, it also offers daily excitement as a cannon is fired each noon—a tradition since 1877. Families can climb to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of Zagreb and explore the Art & Gift Shop, which offers unique souvenirs and artistic items. The tower's historical significance and its scenic vantage point make it a special destination for visitors of all ages.
