CROATIAN PARLIAMENT (SABOR)

To the east of St. Mark's Square, the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) faces the Palace of the Ban, a high parliamentary institution, composed, since the Middle Ages, of nobles and representatives of the clergy. This public building was one of the last examples of Baroque architecture in the city. It cannot be visited. At the top of Tkalčićeva Street, continuing towards Radićeva, this historic bridge known as the Bloody Bridge has a morbid name that dates back to the time of violent conflicts that broke out between neighboring belligerents. The upper and lower town were at odds with each other for centuries.
