Statue of ban Jelačić at Jelačić's Square
Today, Ban Jelačić is considered an important and admirable figure in Croatian history. The central square of the city of Zagreb was named Ban Jelačić Square in 1848, and a statue of him was erected in 1866. Originally, the statue of Jelačić "pointed" with his saber north towards the enemy of Croatia, Hungary. Today the statue's position is reversed.
During the Tito regime the square was renamed in "Trg Republika". After the independence of Croatia in 1992 the square got its original name back.
