Zadar is a Croatian city located between Rijeka and Split,
not far away from Sibenik. It is a few thousand years old
town and it was the capital of Dalmatia for many centuries.
The Zadar peninsula still preserves very old network of
narrow and charming city streets, as well as a Roman forum
dating back to the first century AD. The pre-Romanesque
Church of St. Donat dates back to the ninth century, and
it is certainly Zadar's most famous spot. Zadar is also well
known for having the attractive Romanesque churches:
Cathedral of St. Anastasia from 13th century and Church
of St. Chrysogonus from 12th century as well as the church
tower of St. Mary dating back from 12th century too.

The town is fortified with medieval walls, distinguished
for their pretty and impressive ports – entries in the city
all dating back to the sixteenth century.

Throughout history, Zadar was the centre of key Croatian and
Dalmatian cultural events : the establishment of the first
Croatian university (1396), the writing of the first Croatian
novel (1536) and the publication of the first Croatian
newspaper. The famous permanent exhibition of sacral art
and the traditional St. Donat Musical Evenings represent only
a small part of numerous cultural events that Zadar offers
to its visitors.
