The book presents Krešimirac, officially King Petar Krešimir IV Square in Zagreb, the greenest and one of the largest squares in Zagreb, which is also considered a park. The first part of the book describes the urban genesis of the square itself, while the second part of the book deals with the issue of social relations in the urban program of the square and the institutions that make it up. The book was largely created on the basis of archival research of texts from the Archives of the Božidar Adžija Library, State Archives in Zagreb, Croatian State Archives, Zagreb City Museum,  Museum of Contemporary Art, and on the basis of the testimonies of several citizens who lived in the vicinity of the square.

 

"The book was created as a result of detailed archival and cultural-anthropological research. It offers an important contribution to the knowledge of the process of construction of one of the most interesting squares in Zagreb from an urban point of view, about the changes that have occurred over time and after the changes of state/city authorities/ideologies, and about the ways in which the square was used, and, finally, about the contemporary memories and observations of fellow citizens."
