Part of Croatian language history


I was passing by this interesting sculpture the other day. I have a feeling that it is rather neglected in a comparison to other Zagreb's monuments. It is situated at the crossroad of the longest Zagreb's street Ilica and Mesnićka street not far away from the Zagreb's main square. 
It is Andrija Kačić Miošić, famous Croatian poet and  Franciscan monk, who lived in 18. century. He played an important role in setting a Stokavian dialect as a standard Croatian language.
