Oktogon, a glass dome covering a pedestrian passage. Second home to many a musician and dancer due to the wonderful acoustics.

"Queen's Well" is a source of water for anyone who passes, mostly hikers. Back in 1406 there was a drought in Zagreb and all water sources were gone except for this one. People went climbing up the mountain, fighting bears and whatnot to fetch the water. At the time the "Black Queen" who was living in a fort not far away would come there to collect the water herself. Because of her former cruelty she was afraid the people coming up would poison her and so she'd take the water very quickly. Thus it became the "Queen's Well". 

The water is cold and very refreshing, especially in the summer days.
