Ivan

Dino

How a small craftsman gave his life for his ideals!

Ivan Ilcić was only 27 years old, but he firmly stood by his ideals. He was a simple man, a craftsman.

This 27-year-old bootmaker was killed in November 1905 in a city conflict between Social Democrats and Franks.

Nevertheless, his great sacrifice left a great mark in Varaždin. Because Ivan fought for his ideals until his death, he even got a monument in this city.

His monument was erected with donations by the citizens of Varaždin, and with this, this small but great man entered the history of this city.
