Image by Dnevnik.hr If you don’t already know, there’s a small universe hidden in Zagreb. More specifically, there’s an art installation called Prizemljeni Sunčev sustav (The Grounded Solar System) in Zagreb, which is a replica of Earth’s solar system.
In this post, we cover:
The facts are these…
Solar System: Grounded Sun and Nine Planets in Zagreb, Croatia Prizemljeni Sunčev sustav (The Grounded Solar System) consists of two different art installations:
Prizemljeno sunce (The Grounded Sun) Devet pogleda (Nine Views) The Grounded Sun is situated in the center of Zagreb, and Nine Views consists of planets scattered around the city.
What is most fascinating about these installations is that the sun and planets were sculpted and positioned in relation to each other to scale, matching the solar system.
Most people who have visited Zagreb have likely seen The Grounded Sun, whether they knew it was a replica of the sun or not, since it is large and centrally located. Fewer are familiar with the locations of the other planets.
To help you find all the planets, we’ve put together a map with the addresses of all the installations . The next time you visit Zagreb, go on a scavenger hunt to find all the planets of the solar system!

The Grounded Sun is an art installation by Croatian academic and sculptor Ivan Kožarić . It was installed at Kazališni trg (The theater square) in front of the Hrvatsko narodno kazalište (Croatian National Theater) in Zagreb in 1971. The sculpture has been relocated and damaged multiple times since installation. Its replica now lives on Bogovićeva ulica.

The Sun is a simple bronze sphere around two meters in diameter. The most simple way to find it is to go to the central town square Trg bana Josipa Jelačića (Ban Jelačić square) and walk 30 meters east along Ilica. Turn onto Ulica Franje Petrića, walk 20 meters, and you’ll see The Grounded Sun.
Image by Lice Grada Davor Preis came up with the idea to make an installation Devet pogleda (Nine Views) to complement The Grounded Sun. He designed and made the Nine Views installation in 2004.
Nine Views consists of 9 separated planet installations that represent the solar system together with Kožarić’s Sun. The planets are made of stainless steel and are of different sizes on the same scale as The Grounded Sun. As a result, Zagreb got its own replica of the solar system shown on a greatly reduced scale.
The distance between the Sun and the planet installations is correlated to the distance between planets and the Sun in our solar system. The system is at a scale of 1 : 680 000 000. As a result, the Nine View installations are spread across the wider Zagreb area, from Josip Jelacic square to Podsused and Kozari bok.
Beneath every sculpture, there’s a metal tile with information about the name of the planet, its diameter, and the average distance from the Sun.
