Discover a lesser-known gem: the Grounded Solar System in Zagreb, which began with the installation of the Sun in the Bogovićeva Street.
Artist Ivan Kožarić created and placed this Sun in 1994, marking the inception of an extraordinary artistic project. Ten years later the artist Davor Preis decided to expand the installation by creating the entire Solar System. Thus, the Grounded Solar System or Nine Views was born, a magical treasure that brings the city's space to life. 
Grounded Solar System The planets in the Grounded Solar System in Zagreb are made of stainless steel, with their size and distances proportional to the real Solar System, based on Kožarić's original sun. This captivating installation not only provides an artistic experience but also invites visitors on a journey through the Solar System amid the urban beauty of Zagreb. Explore Nine Views and experience the fusion of art, science, and celestial wonders in a unique way.
