A
Banski Dvori
Banski Dvori (Ban's Palace) was once the seat of Croatian viceroys and is now the presidential palace. The building is composed of two baroque mansions and houses courts, archives and other government offices. In October 1991 the palace was bombed by the federal army, in what some believe to have been an assassination attempt on President Franjo Tudjman. From April to September there is a guard-changing ceremony every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at noon.
