Croatia, Zagreb, Trg Republike Hrvatske (formerly Trg maršala Tita); the building of the Academy of Music in the background (architect Milan Šosterič). The sculpture is called "The needle and the ball" (and, to me, it plagiarizes Kožarić's Prizemljeno Sunce / The grounded Sun a few blocks down the street). May 2025.

Croatia, Zagreb, Studentski centar (Student centre – kind of a tiny campus in the city which has no university campus). March 2025.
Fomapan 400. DigiKam: local contrast, crop.
What is today Student centre used to be Zagreb Fair in the 1930s. The French Pavillion, built in 1937, was one of the exposition halls. Planned by the architects Robert Camelot and Jacques & Paul Herbé.

I was never inside, but it is one of the fascinating hidden buildings in Zagreb.
Croatia, Zagreb, Radićeva ulica. April 2025. The column belongs to the building of the Prva hrvatska štedionica (First Croatian Savings Bank), built in 1880-1882 by Janko Grahor. I guess the head on the column is Mercury, with a winged helmet? The banks have no problem with money, representation and respectability.
