What it is (and why it’s famous)
Manduševac is the small fountain on Ban Jelačić Square that shows up in local stories about Zagreb’s name and identity. In practice, it’s a perfect “tiny landmark”: easy to see, easy to remember, and a natural pause before you head toward the market or Upper Town.
How to use it (best nearby routes)
- Market morning: fountain → Dolac Market → coffee terrace.
- Upper Town loop: fountain → cathedral area → stairs up → viewpoints → walk back down.
- Green reset: fountain → Zrinjevac → Botanical Garden detour → return for dinner.
