Archaeological excavations carried out by the Croatian Conservation Institute in the courtyard of Government House in Zagreb were presented to the public on Friday by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
The Croatian Conservation Institute is carrying out investigative work at Government House necessary for its complete reconstruction, which was damaged in the recent earthquake, the Croatian Government said.
The first phase of these works included the research of the northern part of the courtyard and the prime minister said that archaeological excavations in an area of about 500 square meters revealed the 3,000-year-old hidden history of Zagreb, which shows that there was an important centre there with the continuity of life from pre-historic to the present day.
