History
At 66 metres one of the world's shortest funicular railways, running between the lower and upper towns since 1890. At the top the 13th-century Lotrščak Tower fires the Grič Cannon every day at noon — a Zagreb tradition since 1877, said to have originally been used to synchronise the city's church bells.
“The Grič Cannon has been fired at 12:00 sharp every day for more than 140 years — the only pauses being world wars.”
