About this audio guide
This guide to Zrinjevac Park in Zagreb starts at a marble weather column with a clock, a gift from an army doctor and amateur meteorologist in eighteen eighty-four. It reaches back to the meadow and fairground that stood here before the promenade, and to the wealthy families whose private money furnished a public park. Best heard standing at the column on the park's northern edge.
