Zadar County Essentials
Zadar County features a unique dialogue between ancient history and modern art. The city of Zadar is home to the Sea Organ’s wave-powered melodies and the solar-powered Greeting to the Sun. Significant historical sites include the 16th-century Land Gate and the Romanesque Cathedral of Saint Anastasia. Beyond the city, the region encompasses the white sands of Sakarun Beach on Dugi Otok, the 9th-century Church of the Holy Cross in Nin—the world’s smallest cathedral—and the dramatic karst cliffs of the Zrmanja River canyon.
Kopnena vrata
Built in 1543 by Venetian architect Michele Sanmicheli, this Renaissance gate served as the main entrance to Zadar. It features a triumphal arch decorated with the Lion of Saint Mark and the city's patron saint, Chrysogonus.
Five Wells Square
Constructed in 1574 above a large cistern to ensure a water supply during Ottoman sieges. The square features five stone wellheads lined up between the medieval city walls and the 16th-century Captain's Tower.
Nin's Lagoon
The warm water in the secluded lagoon is simply fabulous. If you get bored by the sea, try a spa treatment with the local healing mud.
