This article examines the urban features of the 20th century liturgical buildings in Zagreb on the basis of the previously established research criteria. This research is the result of field work, the analysis of the existing liturgical buildings in terms of their condition and their position on the Croatian base map. The research results show that the 20th century liturgical buildings in Zagreb ceased to play a role in the formation of the urban fabric as they did in the previous historical periods. In front of them public spaces of predominantly private character have been formed. LITURGICAL ARCHITECTURE URBANISM ZAGREB 20TH CENTURY Clanak govori o urbanistickim obiljezjima liturgijskih gradevina u Zagrebu u 20. stoljecu, a rezultat je istrazivanja provedenog prema prethodno postavljenim kriterijima. Istrazivanje je provedeno na temelju obilaska terena, analize zatecenog stanja i analize smjestaja liturgijskih gradevina na Hrvatskoj osnovnoj karti. Rezultati istrazivanja pokazuju da su liturgijske graoevine u 20. stoljecu u Zagrebu prestale biti gradotvorni element kakav su bile u prethodnim povijesnim razdobljima, te da se pred njima formiraju javni prostori dominantno privatnog karaktera. LITURGIJSKA ARHITEKTURA URBANIZAM ZAGREB 20. STOLJECE This article examines the urban features of the 20th century liturgical buildings in Zagreb. Based on some previously established criteria, it brings forward the results of a field research and the analysis of the existing liturgical buildings in terms of their condition and their position on the Croatian base map. Two criteria were laid down for the analysis of the urban features of the 20th century liturgical buildings in Zagreb. The first one refers to the urban accent in the urban fabric. i.e. a macro-urban aspect which helps to assess the role of the liturgical buildings in building up the image of the city and in highlighting a part of the urban fabric. The second criterion is based on the characteristics of the outdoor spaces in front of the liturgical buildings, i.e. a micro-urban aspect by means of which it is possible to analyze the formation of the public spaces in front of the liturgical buildings. The classification of the liturgical buildings is based on the first criterion. A thorough analysis of all liturgical buildings in Zagreb shows that their contribution to the image of the city and to the articulation of a particular part of urban fabric results from three fundamental components: their positio
