Description

Statue of St. George's work of Austrian sculptor A. Kompatscher and A. Winder, who came to Zagreb in the early 20th century as a gift from the Mazuranić family. The statue was erected in 1944 next to the Stone Gate. It was owned by Croatian family Mazuranić which during the 19th and 20th centuries Croatia donated substantial minds, writers and politicians. Around the statue of Saint George interwoven stories about his curse because they occurred unexplained death of its owners.
Unlike other monuments St. Juraj typically displayed an act of fighting the dragon, this monument is different in that it shows St. George after the fight.
