Did You Know?
The Grič cannon has been fired from Lotrščak Tower at exactly 12:00 every day since 1 January 1877, originally so the city's church bells could synchronise. They no longer need it. It is still fired.
The clock: Zagreb keeps UTC+1, and the noon cannon is a time signal that has kept running since 1877, long after its original purpose ended.
Zagreb lies at 16.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 11:56, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 56 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:56.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 44m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 40m. The swing between them is 7h 4m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Zagreb the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:05, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 20:50. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Zagreb that civil twilight runs about 30 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 38 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
