Other Attractions
Three sides of the defensive walls built to protect the city during Venetian rule still exist
and are worth a look for the footbridge, gates and lion sculpture. The Sea Organ, touted as
one of the city's most unusual sights, can be found near the Zadar ferry station. This mu-
sical instrument consists of a number of pipes set into stairs that play 'music' from the sea
pushing air into them.
Other Things to See and Do
The same architect who designed the sea organ, Nikola Basic, also designed the nearby
Sun Salutation, a solar powered panel of circular glass that emits a light show when the sun
goes down. For art with a more historic sense there is an impressive collection of religious
art in the Museum of Church Art opposite the Church of Saint Donatus. For day trips Zadar
ferries travel regularly to nearby islands and Plitvice Lakes National Park is just under two
hours drive away in the north east.
