Stendarac

About

Since 1700 Trg Riječke rezolucije Square was already a playground for the children of the patricians and here the Stendarac, a stone pillar used for the flag which was raised by the emperor Maximilian in memory of loyalty to the city during Venetian occupation in 1508 and as confirmation of the political rights of the city. Originally it was located in front of the old City Hall on Koblerov trg Square, but over the years it has often changed its location. The pillar of over 2 metres high is decorated with three inscriptions that date back to 1509, 1515 and 1766 as well as a relief of St. Vitus holding a model of the city in his hand.
