Botinec is a neighborhood located in Novi Zagreb - zapad city district of Zagreb, Croatia.
It is famous for having its streets named after famous characters from Croatian theater plays and novels. It was founded in 1965 as a refugee camp after the 1964 flood, owing its rectangular street grid to the era of building Novi Zagreb (called Južni Zagreb – Southern Zagreb at the time).[3] It was away from the city and away from Sava River, with barracks meant to serve as a camp only for up to six years, but the houses were eventually bought by the tenants and upgraded. Nonetheless, Botinec remains a neighborhood bearing the scar of the flood.[4] Botinec is divided in two parts: Old Botinec and New Botinec.
