Zadar is situated 12 kilometers from Zaton and it is the center of Zadar region. It is a city monument, surrounded by historical ramparts, a treasury of the archaeological and monumental riches of ancient and medieval times, Renaissance and many contemporary architectural achievements such as the first sea organs in the world.

Zee-orgel

The Sea Organ is situated near the new cruiser port, within the Zadar waterfront. This is a place where human ideas and skills are joined with the energy of the sea, waves, high and low tide, a place of relax, thinking and conversation accompanied by the continual concert of the mystical tones of the "Orchestra of Nature".

Groet aan de zon

The Greeting to the Sun installation, as a model of the solar system and its appertaining planets, is connected to the Sea Organ whose sound is transposed into a show of light that starts performing on the Zadar waterfront after sunset. In creating the light effects, the installation will be able to receive other outer and spontaneous impulses through modem connection, while the pictures created by the light will adapt to different occasions.

Kalelarga

Kalelarga or Široka ulica (Large Street) the main and most famous street in Zadar is said to be older than the city itself, extending in the east-west direction from Narodni trg (People's Square) to the Forum.

Sint-Donatuskerk

Church of St. Donatus initially was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, but in the 15th century it started bearing today's name after the Zadar bishop Donatus who started the building of the church. According to its unusual cylindrical shape and the double inner space, it stands out with its uniqueness of construction technique without direct models. The church has not been used for sacral function in a long time. It has extraordinary acoustic characteristics and "The Musical Evening of St. Donatus", concerts of Medieval and Renaissance music, have been taking place here for 50 years.
