Zadar

Zadar combines a compact, stone-built old town with an open Adriatic waterfront in a way that reflects its position on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast. The historic core occupies a peninsula, where the Roman Forum stands beside the 9th-century Church of St Donatus, one of the city’s defining early-medieval monuments. Along the shore, Nikola Bašić’s Sea Organ uses the movement of Adriatic waves to produce changing tones, while the nearby Greeting to the Sun installation comes alive after dark. Zadar’s Venetian-era fortifications also form part of the UNESCO-listed Venetian Works of Defence. See how Zadar belongs to the broader Dalmatian coast by browsing webcams nearby.
