Zadar is located in the northern part of the Dalmatian coast of Croatia and still remains the least known of the large centers of this region. It is a city with a history dating back to Roman times, in which you can see fragments of the Roman forum and several interesting churches. The Old Town located by the sea smoothly changes into the promenade, which is famous for the famous Sea Organ.
Due to the large damage from World War II, the Old Town of Zadar has survived only in fragments. Its buildings were supplemented with buildings of modern appearance after World War II. Fortunately, his most important monuments survived. Today's city center is located on the site of the Roman forum, from which single columns and building foundations are still visible. Right next to it is the pre-Romanesque church of St. Donata of an unusual, cylindrical shape with added apses. You can also see the top of the Romanesque cathedral of Saint Anastasia and the bell tower of Saint Mary's church, characteristic of many Dalmatian cities.
A walk around Zadar is a constant exploration of its hidden gems. One of them is undoubtedly the Five Wells Square, where you can see the historic places of drawing water from the former tanker. Fragments of the Venetian city walls with sea and land gates have also been preserved. On the promenade, the Sea Organ was built in 2005, which "plays" when they fall into their squeaking, waves of the sea fall. Next to it is also the Greeting to the Sun installation, which illuminates at night with multicolored lights powered by accumulated solar energy. It is also a place where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets.
