ZADAR Croatia - Pictorial

[SinCity]

Zadar is Croatia's 5th largest city which is located in Northern Dalmatia. It is a seaside city and an important port.

The old city was once built on an island but this has since been filled in creating instead a peninsula. The city dates back to Roman times and one of its famous relics is the ruins of the Roman era Forum.

There are also many important buildings dating back to medieval times including the 9th century St Donatus church, (one of the oldest Catholic churches in Europe)

I was born here in Zadar therefore its a special place to me. :)

Enjoy the pics and feel free to ask questions .....

Great collection of pictures. Zadar looks really nice, especially the waterfront.

[Primorac]

This is making me home sick!

I must say zadar is leaping ahead in terms of development.

there was an architects forum a month ago and it said that zadar architects are at the cutting edge of design

The pics made me home sick too. :(

I've noticed quite a few changes and improvements since I was there last time. They had only just repaired all the damaged caused by the Serbian bombing of the city which went on for a couple of years. Its good to see the fresh changes and new additions.

[bokiii]

Next year i am probably there:)

[Primorac]

Zadar is the place to be.

it was great to see when the government was demolishing houses in the area that didnt have a permit, 80% of them were built by serbs.

its always the case, serbs thinking they are above the law.

[SinCity]

Primorac,

Do you know anything about this building. It was actually a ruined building from World War 2 that has now only recently been rebuilt. I think its a church .....

Beauty abounds in Zadar, Croatia

By ALAN NEMARIC -- Special to Canoe Travel
Alfred Hitchcock once said that Zadar, Croatia had the most beautiful sunsets in the world. After my most recent visit I would have to agree, but at the same time state that the sunset is just one of many reasons to visit this 3000 year old historic Dalmatian city.

If you're not into swimming and sunbathing on Zadar's 5-star public or clothing optional beaches, there's always the nightlife, the restaurants and mountain climbing. But if you're more of an armchair quarterback and would rather have a cocktail and watch the beautiful people walk by... I can direct you to the best spot in the world...to front row centre!

In picturesque downtown Zadar, near the main square, lies a tiny pub called "Bar Toni". "Toni" as the locals call it, sits on one of the old city's many narrow Roman and Baroque cobblestone pathways. What's so special about this place? Because this bar is so close to the Central Square and main shopping area (Benetton, Armani, Diesel, Mango, Image Haddad, Bata, etc.) most residents and visitors to this Adriatic city must walk by Bar Toni. There is no avoiding it!

Like many European cities, it is customary for locals in Zadar, when visiting the old city, to look their best. If you're fortunate enough to get one of Toni's 6 outdoor seats, don't expect to be served quickly. Slow an easy is the working pace in Zadar. Once you have ordered your cappuccino or "pelinkovac and tonic" (local favourite), just sit back, put your sunglasses on, light up a Marlboro Light (yes, smoking is still legal in Europe) and wait for the show to commence. You won't believe your eyes. In a matter of minutes you will be overwhelmed with visions of absolute physical beauty.

The local women and men are naturally tall, tanned, attractive and most importantly "stylish". You'll feel like you're sitting next to Madonna, watching an actual runway model show in Milano! Blondes, Brunnettes, Red Heads...there's an abundance of all on them. Croatians, Italians, Germans, Dutch, Hungarian.....all dressed to impress.

It's common for people to sit at "Toni's" for hours a day, nursing their drink and hoping for a particular "man or woman" of their dreams to walk by at least one more time. It's the place where men of all ages muster up enough courage to finally say "hello" to the pretty, yet mysterious, woman who always manages to throw them a glance or smile.

Toni's is the place where young hearts come alive and where old hearts reminisce. Toni's is the place where people are young, no matter how old they are. It's hard to believe that after all these years, this little Bar on Miha Klaif Street still packs the customers in, not for the quality of food, not for the drinks and certainly not for the service. People still come here to sit and watch the beautiful people and if they're lucky, one of those beautiful people will be buying them their next drink! Bar Toni is open Monday's to Sunday's, 7am to 2am!

Beautiful city SinCity very Romanesque. Thanks for the tour :)
