Zagreb Fićo Tour

Crossing the Sava

Did you know that until 1950s, the city ended on the bank of river Sava? No? Then you need to find out how one of Zagreb’s most famous mayors took the city across the river!It was Većeslav Holjevac, the Zagreb's mayor between 1952 and 1962. Many socialist buildings were built – institutional as well as residential. Today, they are the finest examples of the socialist cityscape.

What to see?

As we cross Most slobode (The Freedom Bridge) into Novi Zagreb (New Zagreb) you will find Mamutica, or the mammoth. A building that stands out, the biggest amongst the surrounding blocks at 70 metres high and 240 metres long. It has 20 floors, houses 5000 people and was, at the time of its construction in 1974, the largest housing block in southeast Europe. Also, another famous building Super Andrija is just a few streets away from here. Urban legend says that if an atom bomb fell on Zagreb, Super Andrija would be the last thing left standing. Behind it is a large park called “Park mladenaca” or “The Bride and Groom’s Park”, since couples would plant trees there when they got married.
