Abstract
Among 65 existing historic squares in Zagreb, 25 have been selected for this analysis. They were formed until 1918 in the areas of Upper town, Kaptol, Central city area and some suburban villages. Based on the clearly defined selection criteria and methodology, this paper considers the origin and historical stratification of the squares according to the periods of their formation as well as their comparable urban features (their site, topography, size and area, forms and proportions, functional and traffic characteristics, equipment, vegetation, landscaping, architectural accents etc.)
