In Croatia's capital city, the most recognizable icon is this man on the horse statue in the square.
This man is ban Josip Jelačić and he is on the horse with a posture of holding the sword pointing at a certain direction. This spot where you see this Jelačić plac (n.b. plac is derived from Platz, the German word for square or plaza) or Trg means "the square") is directly south of the Dolac market.
You will like the Dolac market which is conveniently located right in the Zagreb Downtown pedestrian zone. The transportation including public trams are for free if you are just riding within the square. Unlike in Budapest, you have to pay be it tram, metro or trolleys.
Back to the sword direction. Originally, this sword was pointing north towards Hungary. Then under the Communist rule in 1947, it was removed and reinstalled facing south in 1990. Therefore, now if you see it in Zagreb, it is pointing towards the direction of Serbia.
