The City Walls

Venetian bastions

Zadar, Croatia

A great way to get a feeling for the layout of the town is to stroll the stretch of City Walls on the northeastern side of the peninsula.

This is the longest surviving stretch of a defensive system that was built in the sixteenth century to keep the city safe from Ottoman attacks, and now offers stunning views across the Old Town’s harbour.

Topped by a broad path edged by stretches of greenery, it’s both an engrossing history lesson and a raised city park. An outstanding example of Venetian fortress architecture, Zadar’s walls were placed under UNESCO protection in 2017.
