1 Ilica Street, Modern tower block in Ban Jelačić Square, Croatia
Standing 70 meters tall with 16 floors, this commercial building features an aluminum facade and three elevators in central Zagreb's Lower Town district.
Construction of the building began in 1957 under architects Slobodan Jovičić, Josip Hitil, and Ivan Žuljević, with its official opening on August 22, 1959.
The building represented a shift in Zagreb's architectural landscape as the first business skyscraper in Croatia, marking the city's post-war modernization period.
The structure contains retail spaces on the ground floor, office areas throughout the upper levels, and an observation deck offering views of Zagreb.
This building was the first in Yugoslavia to incorporate an aluminum facade, with panels manufactured by Utva Pančevo company from Serbia.
