The "Ban Jelacic" square (ban is a figure similar to that of a prince) marks the centre of the city and the most famous meeting point. The Square is a mix of classical, baroque, renaissance, secession and modernist styles with the statue of Ban Jelacic on a horse dominating the square. To the east of the statue there is the fountain of Mandusevac from which, according to the legend, the name of the city derives: one day, returning from a battle a nobleman asked a girl named Manda who was standing near the fountain to give him some water exclaiming : 'Mando, zagrabi vode'. According to this legend, the fountain was named Manduševac and the city Zagreb.
