Sun and water, the two passions of Zadar


Zadar has an intimate relations with sun and it is not just about the surrounding beaches. It is due to the fact that city every night greeting the sun.  On riva (Seaside Boulevard about which I was writing already) is located installation of architect Nicola Basici called "Greetings to the Sun" (Pozdrav Suncu) imitates the solar system in appropriate proportions.
The most spectacular is our star in the shape of a circle with a diameter of 22 meters. It consists of three hundred multilayer glass panels set at the same level as the paved promenade. By the day it is a gigantic solar cell, which emits colorful light at night.







Near to Pozdrav Suncu we can find the second most popular attraction in Zadar – Morske Orgulje (ang: See Organ). They were built eight years ago in the west part of the Seaside Bilevard. Sea Organ produces  sound which is created by the movement of water. It is quite difficult to describe how does it works, so it would be the best if you see it yourself. I attached you a short film which shows this amazing combination of human skills and nature. Plenty of people sit every day at See Organ and getting relax by beautiful music symphony of sea. 


Here you can listen to see organ in Zadar :)
