Square form of the square was achieved by four representative residential and partly commercial buildings. Car and tram traffic flows anti-clockwise with
tram roundabout around the rim of the square. In the center of the square is the green area with a building called
Meštrović Pavilion which has a circular layout with a colonnade around the rim and a low dome. Pavilion was built in 1938 following designs made by
Ivan Meštrović. In 1941, the building was converted into a mosque. Three minarets and fountains designed by architect Stjepan Planić were erected at the Pavilion's entrance. The minarets were removed in 1948, and the building was converted in 1949 to the Museum of the Croatian Revolution (in
World War II). At the beginning of the 1990s, the building was returned to the
Croatian Association of Visual Artists and was restored to its original state in 2003. On the north side of the square is the business-residential building made by architect
Viktor Kovačić in 1922, while the entire south side of the square is enclosed by large five-storey residential-commercial block built in 1933 as a residential building for- the
Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts built by architects
Edo Šen and
Milovan Kovačević. Today, it is used as Student Dormitory of Ivan Meštrović, but it is currently closed for renovation. Tram line that goes from Rački street and goes around the square to the Zvonimirova street was built in 1935. ==Former names==
