Ilica (street)

Ilica is one of the longest streets in Zagreb, Croatia. The busy street is home to many shops and cultural sites and spans through most of the northwestern part of the city, from the Ban Jelačić Square in the city centre westward to the Vrapče district. The street is long, making it the third longest street in the city.
The name was first recorded in 1431, while the street itself retained its present shape at the end of the 18th century. In the 14th century, the street was known under the name "Lončarska ves" (archaic Croatian for "Potters' village", also "Vicus lutifigulorum" in Latin).
