4.0Zadar Land City Gates(1.185 reviews) - The Land Gate, Zadar Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Ancient Ruins • Points of Interest & Landmarks
The most elaborate of the city gates also has the prettiest setting, facing a sheltered little marina. Dating from 1543, it has Renaissance-style decorations including St Chrysogonus (Zadar's patron saint) on horseback and the Venetian winged lion. The gate is still used by traffic and was clearly meant to impress those entering – the reverse side is decidedly plain. To get a really good view go up the stairs on the side and walk up into the park. Great place to take photos.See more..
4.0The Forum(522 reviews) - A 'walk by' attraction. But add a little history & these remnants of an earthquake begin to live again. Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks
The seemingly random relics of buildings allow you to touch the history lying at your feet. Zadar is a planned city Quadrata layout undertaken by the Romans, & this, I'm told, is obvious to the educated eye, & thankfully is still preserved some 2 millenia later . Following the earthquake in 6th Century much of the area was reduced to rubble & the medieval square & a Renaissance cistern were built. I tried to include more info from a great website but you can sniff out more history ... ... I'm not going to do all the heavy lifting for you!See more..
We walked along the promenade several times as there are ever changing views over to the island offshore. Interesting buildings, city walls, some sculptures, the Sea Organ and the cruise ship dock are all accessible from this walkway. The final section of new stonework and a quay are being rebuilt and will be finished soon.See more..
The Five Wells Square in Zadar was built in 1574 during the siege of the Ottoman Empire army, when the defensive moat was covered up on the west side of the bastion, previously excavated in the Middle Ages. In its place, a large cistern for drinking water with five decorated wellheads was built, and parts of the aqueduct that used to bring water directly from the Vrana Lake, have been preserved. After the danger had passed, a protective wall was built on the site. On one side is the the entrance to the Queen Jelena Madije Park, and on another the Captain's Tower that rises 26 metres. Their are several places to eat some with upper terraces and the space is large enough to host events such as a concert which was on whilst we were there.See more..

4.5Bell Tower(108 reviews) - Impressive views, especially at sunset Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Observation Decks & Towers
Great views in all directions. We were there at sunset with few people so we zipped to the top. If there were lots of people, there could be some congestion on the stairs, especially the first 30-40 stairs which are narrow, so traffic can only flow in one direction at a time. First couple floors completed in 15th century, the top was finally completed in the ltate 1800's by an English architectSee more..
