For storytellers
Why Lotrscak Tower matters
Every day at midday a cannon shot echoes over Zagreb from this small tower, and locals set their watches to it. Visitors can climb up for a view over the rooftops and the cathedral spires. It is one of the easiest ways to understand how the old town is laid out. The tower is right next to the funicular station.
Talking points
- A cannon is fired from it each day at noon.
- The climb gives a rooftop view across the city.
- It stands beside the funicular.
