We headed to Zadar for the night as a pit stop between Krka NP and Slovenia once we found out about the Sea Organ in the harbour. Consisting of 35 pipes underneath marble slabs, the organ works with the waves to create a musical melody. It was built in 2005 by Nikola Baลกiฤ as a part of the waterfront redesign to hide the unsightly concrete wall built during the construction after the Second World War.
It is accompanied by the Monument to the Sun light display. The light display consists of 300 multi layer glass panels including a 22-meter diameter circle. The solar panels gather energy during the day that power the show at night.
The Old Town was small enough to explore on foot. We strolled around the Roman Forum, St. Donat's and St. Mary's churches grabbing a bite to eat and souvenir shopping.

I loved both the sea organ and the light show. Jill
