Afterwards, you will see where was the entrance to the Medieval city of Zadar and finally, you will see the construction of the Venetian walls.
The Forum
15m

First you will visit the remains of the Roman Forum within Zadar's old town.

It was the biggest Forum built in Croatia, built from 1st until 3rd century and now it is visable only as ruins.

With VR glasses you will see the construction of the Forum looking from the air, from hot-air balloon while an audio guide will introduce you to the intreresting facts about it.

Besides that, you will enter the Forum and you will be standing in the very center of it, surrounded by recreated buildings and statues.

At the end you will be standing in front of the temple dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva dating from the 1st century BC. You will hear the story about ancient religious rituals.

When the VR visual ends, you will take off the VR glasses and you will be amazed to learn that some parts of the construction of the Forum are still being present at their original place even after 2000 years of history.
Bell Tower
10m

This is another visual of the bombing in WW II and you will be looking at Zadar's old town as if you are standing at the top of the St. Anastasia's bell tower. You will see air attack and bombing of the city. There will be buildings burning and crashing due to airplanes dropping bombs.

At the end you will see a map showing heavily damaged areas of the city, that do not exist anymore.
Cathedral of St. Anastasia

Paseo Maritimo
10m

You will visit the location of the former city market where people used to sell fish, vegetables, fruits and other products.

Today's open city market lies at the opposite side of the city because former city market was destroyed during the bombing in WW II.
