Things to do in Zadar

Zadar sits on Croatia's sparkling Dalmatia Coast, filled with sights and sounds that exemplify its Roman and Venetian rulings. An ancient port city, Zadar's contemporary charm lies in the city's pervading juxtaposition of the ancient and modern found in its particular fusion of both ancient and modern architecture, art and lifestyle. The three-thousand year-old city was founded by an old Liburnian tribe, urbanized by Romans and developed by Croatians, Venetians and Austrians. Zadar has survived many wars and its turbulent history is simultaneously filled with glory and destruction. See signature sights like the pre-Romanesque St. Donat Church, the Cathedral of St. Anastasia and the spectacular sea organ comprised of undersea pipes that make music from the power of the waves. Your visit wouldn't be complete without sipping on the locally made Maraschino liqueur.
