Donji grad, Administrative district in central Zagreb, Croatia
Donji grad encompasses a 3-square-kilometer area with wide avenues, public squares, and a combination of residential buildings and commercial establishments across its streets.
The district received its official administrative status on December 14, 1999, marking a new phase in Zagreb's municipal organization and urban development.
Museums, theaters, and art galleries populate the district's streets, including the Mimara Museum, which houses substantial collections of European artworks.

Zagreb features an architectural heritage spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times. The Zagreb Cathedral dominates the city with its two neo-Gothic towers measuring 108 meters, while St. Mark's Church displays the city's historic coats of arms on its roof. The Stone Gate, a remnant of 13th-century fortifications, houses a chapel dedicated to the Virgin and Child. The Lotrščak Tower, an old medieval watchtower, still fires a daily cannon at noon. The city organizes its cultural offerings around several institutions: the Broken Relationships Museum exhibits an international collection of objects related to breakups, the Art Pavilion is housed in a building from 1898 dedicated to contemporary art, and the Grič Tunnel, a 350-meter-long shelter built during World War II, now serves as an exhibition space. Maksimir Park extends over 316 hectares with five lakes and a zoo, while the Botanical Garden has collected over 5,000 plant species over 4.7 hectares since 1889. Mirogoj Cemetery, designed by Hermann Bollé in 1876, combines neo-Renaissance arcades with funerary architecture.
