Abstract
This article presents the location and dates of fairs held in today’s Zagreb, where livestock and animal product were sold over the course of history. During the fairs it was necessary to respect “The Peace of God” (treuga Dei). Although fairs were probably held from the very foundation of the City of Zagreb, it is known for certain that they were held in this area from 1094, that is from the foundation of the Zagreb Bishopric. The oldest and largest fair was known as Kraljevo (Royal) and lasted twenty days following St. Stephen’s Day (20th August). St. Mark’s Fair and St Margaret’s Fair were held for seven days before and seven days after St. Mark’s and St. Margaret’s Days. The square named after the Thirtieth tax was renamed Harmica, then from 23rd June 1848 it became Jelačić Square, and from 1947 to 1990 it was known as the Republic Square. From 1991 it became known once again as Viceroy Jelačić Square. Zrinjevac was named in 1866. First of all it was known as Marvinski Square, and later became New Square. The present-day Republic of Croatia Square has changed its name as many as eight times over the course of history. It was originally known as Market Square, and this name remained until1888, when it became University Square. After the end of the First World War, more precisely in 1919, it was renamed Woodrow Wilson Square, and eight years later King Aleksander 1st Square, then from 1941 Square I., and in 1945 its name changed to Theatre Square. Only one year later this square was given the name Marshall Tito Square, and from 1st September 2017 its name was changed for the eighth time, to Republic of Croatia Square. A newly designed square was called N. Square, and then from 1927 King Petar I Square, from 1941 Square III, and in 1943 it was given the name of the Bosnian King Kulin. This name only survived two years, and in 1945 it became the Victims of Fascism Square until 1990. From 1990 to 2000 it was known as the Square of Croatian Heroes, and in 2000 the name Victims of Fascism was restored.
