Zadar/Marina Zadar

Zadar/Marina Zadar

Zadar is the second-largest city of the region of Dalmatia, the fifth-largest city in the country and the oldest continuously inhabited Croatian city. Zadar is a historic old town of the Roman ruins, medieval churches, cosmopolitan cafes, fortified city walls and gates set on a small peninsula. Zadar's fortified city walls and gates are listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. The walls of Zadar were originally built in order to keep out the invading forces from Turkey, which allowed the city to maintain its independence, with walls never being breached. There are several entrances into the walls but nowadays only eight of these are open.

The most popular tourist attractions in Zadar are the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun, the two of the world's unique sights of the modern art. The Sea Organ is an architectural sound art object which produces music. Under the set of large marble steps are 35 pipes which play 7 accords of 5 tones and exude unique music of the movement of the sea and the wind. The Greeting to the Sun is made out of 300 multi-layered glass plates in 22m wide circle set which collect the energy of the sun during the day and create a playful game of lights. The Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun together form the most beautiful sunset experience in the world.
