This was our first time to Zadar, Dalmatia's second largest city after Split. Zadar is built on a peninsula jutting into the bay and used to be completely fortified by walls built during the Venetian days. Zadar probably spent more time under Venetian rule than any other city and they left their mark. There's wells inside the city walls to provide the Zadar people with water during Turkish sieges and parts of the walls remain.
Probably the most impressive things are recent in the Sea Organ and Sun Salutation. The Sea Organ has to be experienced and any description I provide will not be adequate. The water pushes air through pipes to make sound and it never stops. I've sat listening to the Organ at night and drank espresso and ate my pastry every morning by it. There are videos on Youtube but they don't do it justice. We were in Zadar for the full moon festival where we made sure we didn't like the taste of fish from the sea.
