Zadar

Zadar is a town steeped in history dating from the ninth century BC. The town was the capital of Byzantine Dalmatia; surrounded on three sides by water the town's natural defences were enhanced by the Venetians who built the massive sixteenth century walls to keep out the Turkish invaders. Zadar is renowned for its many fine churches including the impressive St Donat's church which is the largest pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

Zadar came under attack during the Second World War and again from the national army in 1991. Today Zadar has developed into one of the most interesting towns on the Dalmatian coast.
