The most famous, most visited and most photographed location in the city. Surely it deserves more superlatives, but this time we will not talk about Ban Josip Jelačić Square, but about his horse. A few people know that the horse is called Emir and that the ban got it as a gift from Mahmud-beg Bašić from Bihać.
Ban was on horseback to his enthronement in Zagreb, and ten years after the death of the ban, Emir dies too, as the most famous horse in Croatia today, and we know very little about it. Anton Dominik Fernkorn used it as a statue model in 1866. And now, honestly, how many of you knew this information?
