The equestrian statue of Josip Jelačič, created by the Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn, has dominated Zagreb's central square (Trg bana Josip Jelačiće) since 1866. At that time, the statue was pointing northward (toward Hungary) with an outstretched sword. In 1947, the communist government of Yugoslavia had the statue removed and renamed the square Trg Republike (Republic Square). During the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1990, when Jelačić's role was again perceived positively, the statue was returned to the square, which was renamed after him again. But the statue has been repositioned and turned so that now it does not extend its sword in the northern direction, but in the southern direction.
