Oktogon, 19th-century passage in Lower Town, Zagreb, Croatia
The Oktogon features two connecting passageways that meet at a central octagonal atrium, crowned by a glass dome allowing natural light inside.
Built between 1898 and 1900, Croatian architect Josip Vancaš designed this structure as part of the First Croatian Savings Bank building project.
The passage integrates commercial spaces with public areas, providing a connection between Petar Preradović Square and Ilica street for pedestrians.
Visitors can access the passage during regular business hours, with multiple tram lines stopping nearby at Ilica street or Ban Jelačić Square.
Until 2013, the passage contained a bas-relief monument dedicated to Pluto, a stray dog that accompanied workers during construction.
