The three millennia long history of the city began in the early prehistoric times, almost at the dawn of humanity. Illyrian tribes were the first to create the foundations for the city Zadar today is. Ancient Romans made first urban interventions, some of them preserved until the present day. Through the course of history Zadar changed many rulers, met various cultures and civilizations, suffered many wars and devastation; soaking up all the experiences and influences, every time rising stronger and more beautiful from the early medieval times up until the modern times we are living in.

It is easy to follow the footsteps of history through the stone covered narrow streets of Zadar’s old town. The ancient city core is encircled by the medieval city walls, even today protecting the richness of historical heritage. A simple walk through the city streets can feel like a wild ride through the centuries: ancient Forum in the shade of the early medieval church of St. Donatus, the magnificent Cathedral of St. Anastazia or the modern installations at the Zadar’s waterfront (Sea Organ, Greeting to the Sun). It seems like there is a monument behind every corner, anxiously waiting to tell its tale.

Immensely rich gastronomic scene includes the highest rated fine dining venues as well as the traditional taverns where you can try some of the praised specialties of the famous Mediterranean cuisine.
