Itinerary
The start of our tour is the old Roman forum. This is the place where the city as we know it today was founded more than 2000 years ago. In addition to the remains of the old forum, there are St. Donat church from the 9th century and St. Maria church from 11th century. This place was the centre of the city through centuries.
You will experience the sound of sea at the unique Sea Organ installation.
This attraction collects the sun energy through the day and displays a light show with the collected energy in the night. Next to that, it has many other hidden symbolics.
The biggest church in Dalmatia dates from 13th century and is a real beauty to visit. It is built in Romanic style and is one of the most important religious places in the city.
This fresh food market will let you experience the culture and some of the freshest foods you have ever tried. Bargaining is allowed.
This is the main square of the city since 16th century. It contains Renaissance monuments and one very special church from 11th century.
This is the holiest place in Zadar. It contains the body of St. Simeon that held Jesus when Jesus was baby and announced that this baby will shine the light on the world. The story of how his body came to and remained in Zadar is even more amazing.
16th century entrance to the city is the most important Venetian monument in whole Dalmatia. It is on the UNESCO Heritage Site list together with fortification walls and you will see why the Ottomans never managed to conquer Zadar, despite trying few times. The monument is also nicely decorated and was considered to be too expensive by many Venetians at the time of built.
This is a beautiful park that was made in early 19th century as the central hangout place of people from Zadar. The story of how it came to reality and why it came to reality may surprise you.
