Abstract
Horvat’s hill is a hill located in the northwestern part of the park at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb, and was named after its conceptual designer, the famous Croatian scientist, botanist and professor Ivo Horvat. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is legally protected historical pavilion complex, included within the Historical Urban Entity of the City of Zagreb, with numerous cultivated plant species located within the green areas of the park and on Horvat’s hill. Horvat’s hill was formed in the period from 1940 to 1963, and it represents a unique feature of natural heritage with both scientific and educational value, that has been well preserved to this day. This paper chronologically presents the history and context of making Horvat’s hill, with the aim of contributing to its further valorisation and preservation. Data were collected from previous scientific and professional articles by historians, foresters, architects, botanists and biologists, and from historical sources available at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb.
