Zadar is one of the most beautiful towns in the coastal Croatia. It has this distinctive flavor of the past mixed with contemporary.
Placed neatly on small peninsula with shiny and polished stone streets it is somehow built to fit human measures. It is an ancient place, lovely in different seasons. Sacred arts, from architecture to liturgical objects are so rich and plentiful that even in repeated visits you will discover something new.
Remnants of the glory of Roman empire with biggest forum on the eastern side of Adriatic, structure of the city, beautiful medieval fortifications, oldest Croatian university, city loggia from 16 century and so much more can be overwhelming.
Zadar is also well known for having the attractive Romanesque churches: Cathedral of St. Anastasia from 13th century and Church of St. Chrysogonus from 12th century as well as the church tower of St. Mary dating back from 12th century too. The town is fortified with medieval walls, distinguished for their pretty and impressive ports – entries in the city all dating back to the sixteenth century.
Nested in the middle of the old town with its carnival of colors and scents it is fun to stroll through even without buying
City has many coffee shops to enjoy cafe latte and observe motion and pictures around. During the summer season Musical nights in church of Saint Donatus, Theater Festival and International competition of string instruments and guitar players called strings only are delights to visit. Zadar is very vibrant and interesting but in need of being closer to nature you can do that too.
