Church of Our Lady of Health The Church of Our Lady of Health ,is a church built in the 18th century in Baroque style. During the Second World War it was almost completely destroyed, only the bell tower and the small chapel were spared, in 1990 it was rebuilt. Nowadays the church is a popular destination for believers from all over the world and a tourist attraction.

Cathedral of St. Anastasia The Cathedral of Zadar is a Roman Catholic cathedral and also holds the title of basilica minor. The largest church in all of Dalmatia is dedicated to the martyr Anastasia of Sirmium. The church was rebuilt in the 11th and 12th centuries and was consecrated again by Pope Alexander VII in 1177. During the siege by the Venetians and Crusaders in 1202, the cathedral was severely damaged. Throughout the 13th century the restoration lasted. PIP 1-4: The basilica has a high nave and two aisles, in the choir there is a choir stall with 54 seats, which was executed in the Gothic style.

Church of St. Donatus A unique sight, the church of St. Donatus . Built in the early ninth century, it is the best preserved monument of the early Christian period in Croatia. The church is a round church , which gives it a special appearance. In the course of its history the church was used for various purposes, as a military camp , a wine cellar or an archaeological museum. Thanks to its excellent acoustics in the cylindrical interior, today the church is mainly used for concerts.

HWW The wall made of many different stones, d says Ernst Ferstel: It is up to us alone whether we build walls or bridges out of the many stones we put in each other's way.

In the immediate vicinity of the Sea Organ there is another attraction of the Greeting to the Sun. The installation is by the same artist/architect who designed the Sea Organ, the Greeting to the Sun consists of 300 glass modules installed on the waterfront in a circle on an area of 408 square meters, representing the sun. At sunset, the lighting elements built into the sun circle turn on, creating a beautiful play of light that picks up the rhythm of the sea waves and sounds of the sea organ. Some look at these extraordinary buildings from a safe distance and thus escape the hype that usually prevails there ;-)

The new gateway to the city. This modest archway is one of the main entrances to the old town, a maze of narrow streets and small squares with a strong southern flavor. Our bicycles are parked in front of this gate, we will pick them up now so that we can set off for Zaton. On the bike path from Zadar back to Zaton, this one is super developed.

HBM, a good start to the week, with the nature bank
