Abstract

Nikola Šubić Zrinjski Square is one of eight parks – squares that make Zagreb “Green horseshoe”. The history of Zrinjski square started in 1866 on the occasion of the third centenary of death of the Croatian ban Nikola Šubić Zrinjski, when up-to-then Novi Térg, where the fairground was located, was renamed to Nikola Šubić Zrinjski Square. The square was transformed from the fairground to the public garden in 1873 according to designs of the engineer R. Melkus and the garden architect from Vienna – R. Siebeck. It had its second transformation in 1878, when the city gardener J. Peklar started to take care of the city’s public gardens and floral displays. The third significant transformation of Zrinjevac started in 1891, according to the design of the gardener F. Jeržabek. The public garden today, after the conducted renewal project during the years of 2000 and 2001, has the characteristics of the third transformation. The emphasis of this paper lies on the usage of plant material since the time of creating “Zrinjevac” to up to this day.
