An artistic statement and magnificent tribute to Petar Kruzic, who was a respected warlord at the time, this stairway monument was built almost 500 hundred years ago. Captain Petar Kruzic was honored by the construction of this stairway, which starts at the very beginning of the grand stairs with an arch that depicts Madonna and the Child.
When the Captain Petar Kruzic Stairway was originally built in 1531, there were less stairs, but steps have been added over the centuries, creating the Petar Kruzic Stairway as we know it today. The monument now has 500 steps, beckoning you to walk on them and honor art and architecture.
