Varazdin: Trg kralja Tomislava - Townhall of Varazdin
Trg kralja Tomislava occupies the central square of Varaždin’s historic core in northern Croatia. Its focal point is the Town Hall, a Renaissance-era civic building dating from 1523, distinguished by its clock tower and formal façade. The square is lined with restrained Baroque and historic townhouses, reflecting the period when Varaždin served as Croatia’s capital from 1756 to 1776. Varaždin stands on the lowlands south of the Drava River, near the hills of Hrvatsko zagorje. The compact centre is known for its carefully preserved streets, courtyards and public squares, and it becomes a major cultural setting during the annual Špancirfest street festival.
