Where to Go in Zadar

Here are some breathtaking places to stop by while on your trip.

The Sea Organ

The Sea organ was designed by architect Nikola Bai. 

It was a project to rebuild the new city shoreline, completed and unveiled to the public on April 15, 2005. 

The waves interact with the organ, producing sounds that are somewhat random but harmonious.

80 organ pipes play with seawater pressure. 

The songs can be heard from a kilometre and sound particularly angelic when you get to a stairway and gaze out at the sea when it is playing.

Zadar Cathedral

The Cathedral of St Anastasia, with its stunning white stone exterior, is one of the primary attractions of Zadar's old town.

The Basilica was initially dedicated to St Peter the Apostle. Still, when Zadar's bishop, Donat, obtained the bones of the Simian martyr St Anastasia, known as Stoija in Zadar, at the beginning of the 9th century, the Basilica was renamed after her.

Over the years, the church has been rebuilt multiple times with Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian elements, remaining modest and graceful.

The Museum of illusion

The Museum of Illusion in Zadar offers a venue appropriate for both social and enjoyable journeys into the realm of illusions that have fascinated people. 

It's a place for new adventures and enjoyment with friends and family.

It is not just a favourite destination for youngsters but also for parents, couples, and grandparents.

The Museum tricks your mind and your senses with a collection of images that changes the way you see the world around you.

The Queen Jelena Madijevka Park

Queen Jelena Madijevki Park was Zadar's first city park. Its origin may be traced back to 1829 when it was created in the area of military fortifications by the Austrian commander, Governor Baron Franz Ludwig von Welden.

Governor Van Walden was a naturalist who was particularly interested in Dalmatian flora. 

During his time in Zadar, he gathered flora native to the area, eventually establishing huge green gardens.

The park was built as a romantic garden, with sculptures, statues, fountains, chairs, tables set among the foliage, and a little Chinese pagoda serving as a music pavilion. 

Unfortunately, the park was destroyed by bombing during World War II. Only tiny groupings of trees survived and were progressively rebuilt over time.
