of Zagreb from a provincial place at the beginning of the century. The development of social and cultural
awareness of the city as a representative and urban center, a representative of citizens and peoples,
determined Zagreb's path in this direction. The city of Zagreb, which until then was part of the periphery,
could finally be compared with the other centers of the Monarchy - Vienna and Budapest. The most important
urban project of the 19th century in Zagreb was the construction of a new part of the city, the Lower Town.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, a representative framework for the new city center - the
so-called Lenuzzi's or Green Horseshoe as an example of a monumental urban plan that will give Zagreb the
attribute of a modern city, and thus lay the foundations for its further development.
