The symbolic icon of the city is a famous example of early medieval Croatian architecture which is famed for its unique circular form and walls rising out of a plaza scattered with Roman forums and ruins. It serves as a preferred venue for music event due to its superb acoustics.
The roman catholic cathedral of Zadar is the largest church of Dalmatia which initially begun with the Byzantines and was rebuilt in later centuries. It holds a fine façade with beautiful windows with a top in Gothic Style and the lower one in Romanesque style. The impressive bell tower can be climbed for perfect views of the city.

The city’s well-preserved remaining four gates are impressive and splendid to view and explore and each gate has a name such as Land Gate, Sea Gate, Bridge Gate & Rocco Gate.
Sea Organ is an intriguing art installation wherein a giant musical instrument is played by the movement of waves as there are underwater pipes set below the marble steps and each tube plays a different tone and together, they create a fantastic soundtrack played by the waves.
