Constitutional Court of Croatia

The Constitutional Court of Croatia is a judicial institution in Gornji Grad-Medveščak that reviews laws for constitutional compliance and protects citizens' fundamental rights through binding rulings. The court operates as a specialized body separate from regular courts, handling cases where government actions or legislation may violate constitutional provisions.

The court was established in February 1964 during the Socialist Republic of Croatia period and underwent reorganization in July 1990 following the country's independence. This restructuring allowed the institution to take on its current role safeguarding constitutional principles in Croatia's newly democratic system.

The court building, situated in the historical Gradec area, represents an important element of Croatia's architectural heritage and legal institutions.

The court receives visitors at its Reception Office from Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Zagreb location. It is advisable to confirm visiting policies in advance, as access to the building may have specific requirements or restrictions.

With thirteen judges serving eight-year terms, this institution functions as an independent fourth branch of government alongside executive, legislative, and judicial powers.
