| Zadar is a walled, medieval Croatian city on the northern stretch of the Adriatic Sea between Rijeka and Split and close to Sibenik. The city is many thousands of years old and was for many centuries the capital of Dalmatia. Zadar is well known for its impressive Romanesque churches, in particular the pre-Romanesque church of St. Donat, which dates back to the ninth century. This attractive region has various national parks and over 300 islands and islets, numerous coves and beaches and cultural and historic monuments. Yachting tourism is also very popular, as are all forms of water sports. Cultural and entertainment programmes round off the array of attractions. |
