Zagreb, Croatia: Central Station (Glavni Kolodvor)





Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor is the main railway station of Zagreb, the largest station in Croatia and the main hub of the Croatian Railways network. An 1890 act of the Royal Hungarian Government authorised the building of the main station and maintenance shop in Zagreb. Construction of the 186.5 m (612 ft) long neoclassical style station building began in 1891 and was overseen by Hungarian architect Ferenc Pfaff. Sculptural works were undertaken by the Hungarian sculptor Vilim Marschenko. The station opened on 1 July 1892. It is one of the largest public buildings built in 19th century Zagreb. Reconstruction works were undertaken in 1986–87 (just before the 1987 Summer Universiade) and again in 2006.
