A tree-lined terrace on the edge of the Upper Town with a view over the Lower Town rooftops, lined with cafes and the Strossmayer statue.
The promenade follows the old city walls between Lotrščak Tower and the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters area. Benches overlook the red-tiled roofs of the Lower Town and the cathedral. A statue of Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, a central figure in 19th-century Croatian culture, stands nearby. The promenade is the favourite sunset spot of locals and hosts summer evening events.
