Lotrščak Tower, Fortified tower in Upper Town, Croatia
The Lotrščak Tower rises 19 meters over the southern gate of the Gradec town wall, featuring four levels and a distinctive rooftop cannon.
Built in 1266 as part of Zagreb's defense system, the tower gained two additional floors and a wooden observation point during an 1857 renovation.
The name derives from 'campana latrunculorum', meaning 'thieves' bell', referring to the bell that signaled the closing of town gates after dark.
The ground floor contains an art shop, while upper levels house exhibition spaces managed by the Public Institution Klovićevi dvori Gallery.
The Grič cannon fires daily at noon from the fourth floor, continuing a tradition that began in 1877 to synchronize church bell ringers.
