Fortification in Zadar

Zadar Old Town Walls

Zadar’s Venetian fortifications are UNESCO-listed, encircling the old town peninsula with walls, gates, and bastions. Free to walk along and through. The Land Gate (Kopnena Vrata) with its Venetian winged lion is the most impressive entrance. Budget travelers walk through the gates and along the ramparts and see the defenses that kept Zadar Venetian for four centuries.
