Sažetak
Signs of Egyptomania in Zagreb's architecture and urbanism we find scattered in a period of almost two centuries. At the beginning and an end of that time line are the obelisks whose setting is associated with the Zagreb Archdiocese. The first ever obelisk in Zagreb was set up by bishop Aleksandar Alagović in 1835 in honour of the completion of the works at the great garden under the bishop's palace and the Cathedral. Last (so far) obelisk was set in 1995 in the Hrvatske bratske zajednice Street to mark the 900 years of Zagreb and the Zagreb Archdiocese. Between these two monuments in the city of Zagreb are located obelisks that also commemorate various events and serve as street furniture. The Mirogoj Cemetery and the Maksimir Park are parts of the city with the largest number of monuments with references to ancient Egypt. First because of unquestionable connection between Egyptian culture with the culture of death, and the other primarily due to Egyptomania that grabbed Europe after 1922. In the first decades of the 20th Century the art of ancient Egypt inspired many of the Zagreb architects, but especially those who witnessed the new "discovery" of Egypt in Vienna around 1900. Among commercial and residential buildings in Zagreb's Lower Town, most of the Egyptian decorative elements are found on the building project of the Isis pharmaceutical company, which will create a complete visual identity from its name.
