Squares
The fragments and traces from the past reveal Zadar’s antiquity, whereas its dynamic squares demonstrate the urban identity of the city and its authentic connections to the Mediterranean and European culture. Zadar is a city of squares, where everything happens and everything gets disclosed.
Just like all other Mediterranean cities, Zadar is an open promenade with squares where life unfolds. People’s Square has been the centre of public life for over 500 years, while the Petar Zoranić Square (Trg Petra Zoranića), dedicated to the famous Zadar Renaissance writer, is the present-day centre of entertainment events in Zadar. Right next to it, there is the Five Wells Square with the Captain’s Tower, both built in the 16th century. The oldest gathering place of Zadar citizens has been the Roman Forum, where morning and daily sensations are being absorbed, or the summer warmness and the sunbathed ambiance of ancient Zadar.
