Origin of name

Not only is Mamutica the largest building in all of Croatia, but it is also still one of the most significant residential buildings in Europe. Therefore, it is interesting that she should have been called Tratinčica. According to Miroslav Kollenz's urban plan, every building in the Travno district of Zagreb should be named after a meadow flower, but the idea did not come to the realization.
