Zadar
About Zadar
The turbulent and rich history of Zadar is a real inspiration. The Illyrians, the Roman Empire, the crusader siege of Zadar, the Otoman siege of Zadar, the sale of Zadar to the Venetians, the reasons for the bombings in World War II and the Homeland War are certainly stories that intrigue you.
Walking past Zadar’s numerous churches, ramparts, Roman era buildings and the university may provide the answer to the question of why Zadar’s history has been so harsh.
The symbols of modern Zadar are the Sea organ and the Greeting to the Sun monument, unique architectural projects.
The restaurants in Varoš and Foša give a special Mediterranean flavour to the Zadar peninsula.
