The Zadar region represents the northernmost part of Dalmatia and the gate of the region, wel- coming all those travelling from the north of the Adriatic. A city filled with contrasts and rich in historical heritage and beautiful nature, it is a place of colours, striking a particular harmony between the intense blue of the sea and the dark green of the pine trees or olive groves that tower over the waters and descend all the way to the shore, all accentuated against the brilliant white of the Dalmatian stone as the backdrop. Zadar is a 3,000-year-old city with the largest re - searched Roman forum on the Croatian side of the Adriatic, but also unforgettable Romanesque churches. Nin (the oldest Croatian royal city) boa - sts the world’s smallest cathedral (the Church of the Holy Cross measures just 36 paces!). Zadar is the proud owner of a unique blend of ar - chitecture and music, home to the world-famo- us Sea Organ art object, the sounds of which are produced by the energy of the sea, waves and ti- des. Stretching over an area of about 70 me- tres of the Zadar waterfront, 35 pipes of various lengths, diameters and slopes have been in- stalled beneath it, at the level of the lowest low ti- de. When the most beautiful sunset illuminates the waterfront, a dance of light accompanies the rhythm of the waves and the music. And alongside the organ is the Greeting to the Sun contemporary installation, comprising 300 multi-layered glass solar panels in the shape of a circle with a diameter of 22 metres. This unique Greeting the sun to the sounds of the sea organ

installation collects the energy of the Sun over the course of the day and transforms it into ele- ctricity, which is then used by and around the in- stallation throughout the night. The Greeting to the Sun and the Sea Organ are located right next to each other, and both have led to Zadar being featured on front pages worldwide. Of course, there are also the inevitable islands of the Zadar Riviera: Pag, with its beautiful olive gro - ves, rich in sea salt and famous for its lace and world-class cheese; Silba, the island of shipo- wners and captains, a true shelter from the wind with its many bays and also known as the island with no cars; the Ugljan, a ‘suburb’ and garden of Zadar as the first in the Zadar Archipelago; and Dugi Otok, which boasts a nature reserve cove- ring its entire 114 square kilometres.

Pozdrav suncu uz zvuke morskih orgulja

cajem energije mora, tačnije plime i oseke. Morske orgulje protežu se na sedamdesetak metara zadarske obale ispod kojih je, na nivou najniže oseke, ugrađeno 35 cevi različite du - žine, prečnika i nagiba. Kada najlepši zalazak sunca prožme zadarsku rivu, svetlosna igra od - vija se u ritmu talasa i muzike. A pored orgulja, moderna instalacija Pozdrav suncu nova je zadarska atrakcija sastavlje- na od 300 višeslojnih staklenih ploča u obliku kruga prečnika 22 metra. Danju prikuplja ener - giju sunca i pretvara je u električnu, koja se u instalaciji i oko nje potom koristi tokom no- ći. Uz Morske orgulje , Pozdrav suncu doveo je Zadar na naslovnice svih svetskih medija. Na Zadarskoj rivijeri su, naravno, i nezaobila - zna ostrva. Pag sa predivnim maslinjacima, bogat morskom solju i poznat po svojoj čipki i siru svetske klase. Silba, ostrvo brodovlasnika i kapetana, pravi je zaklon od vetra sa svojim brojnim uvalama, poznata i kao ostrvo bez au- tomobila. Ugljan je predgrađe i vrt Zadra, dok Dugi otok ima rezervat prirode koji se prostire na 114 kvadratnih kilometara.

Zadarska regija je najseverniji deo Dalmaci - je, njena kapija dobrodošlice za sve one ko- ji putuju sa severa Jadrana. Pun je kontrasta, bogat istorijskim nasleđem i prelepom priro - dom. Intenzivne boje, taj poseban sklad živo - pisnog plavetnila mora i preko njega tamnoze- lenih borova ili maslinjaka koji se spuštaju sve do obale. A svemu tome treba dodati i blistavu belinu dalmatinskog kamena. Zadar, star oko 3.000 godina, grad je sa najve - cim istraženim rimskim forumom na hrvatskoj strani Jadrana i nezaboravnim romaničkim cr - kvama. Obližnji Nin (najstariji hrvatski kraljev - ski grad) može se pohvaliti najmanjom katedra - lom na svetu (Crkva Svetog Križa meri samo 36 koraka). Zadar ipak ima nešto sasvim jedin - stveno – spoj arhitekture i muzike, svetski po- znate Morske orgulje , čiji zvuk nastaje pod uti -
