The Sea Organ and Sun Salutation
Two iconic works by Croatian architect Nikola Bašić await you in Zadar. The Sun Salutation captures the sun’s energy to create a colorful light show at night, while the Sea Organ turns the movement of the waves into unique, natural melodies.
Sun Salutation: Made of ground plates with photovoltaic cells, this installation lights up in different colors at sunset when you walk on it.
Sea Organ: This large musical instrument sits under the waterfront quay. Waves push air through 35 underwater pipes, producing music that grows louder and more intense as the waves rise.
For the full experience of this sound and light show, we highly recommend visiting at sunset 😊
St. Donatus Bell Tower
Climb a few steps to the top of the tower and enjoy a 360° panoramic view over the old town, the Adriatic Sea, and the surrounding islands.
St. Anastasia’s Cathedral
The largest cathedral in Dalmatia, blending Romanesque and Gothic styles. Its bell tower also offers a stunning view of the city.
The Land Gate (Kopnena Vrata)
A monumental Renaissance-style gate, once the main entrance to the city — a striking piece of architecture highlighting Zadar’s strategic role. Just nearby, the Old Port of Foša.
The Roman Forum
Located in the heart of the old town, these ruins are a fascinating reminder of Zadar’s Roman past.
Five Wells Square and Queen Jelena Park
A charming spot to take a break, relax in a green space, and learn a bit of local history.
