This is where you see the Silver and Gold Collection of Zadar - Religious Art Exhibition. It opens from 10-13 then 17-19 again every day. There’s an entry fee of 30 kunas for the exhibition. No photography in the exhibition hall. Don’t forget to check out the chapel at the end of corridor of the souvenir shop. Very serene and you get to see the old architecture and archaeological finds.

Love the collection, not even religious myself. Just very much in awe with what art meant from 13th-17th century. Intriguing to see how the Catholics preserved body parts of saints. The curation is a bit curious - like separating the arms and feet of the same saint in different cases and areas. It’s also a great opportunity to compare how Madonna and Child were depict in different times by different artists. That’s very...

Mjesto neprocjenjive povijesne i kulturološke važnosti. O istom se može poduže govoriti, no kratki pregled crkve i samostana Svete Marije je tu:

• pripada ženskom benediktinskom samostanu koji je 1066. osnovala zadarska plemkinja Čika • crkva je posvećena 1091. • samostanski arhiv čuva vrijednu zbirku povelja u kojima se spominju hrvatski kraljevi 11. st. • prvi hrvatsko-ugarski kralj Koloman dao je novac za izgradnju zvonika i kapitularne dovrane • u južnom dijelu samostana smještena je Stalna izložba crkvene umjetnosti/ SICU • pročelje crkve i njezin južni bočni zid u stilu renesanse nastali su kad je crkva produžena i povrišena. Pročelje ima obli zabat kao i kod Šibenske katedrale • Glavni portal je renesansni kao i južni bočni portal na kojem se u natpisu spominje opatica Donata Nassis • Unutrašnjost crkve je ukrašena u 18. st. bogatim štukaturama u kasnobaroknom stilu • Iz crkve se ulazi u dvoranu kapitula koja je arhitektonski vezana sa zvonikom • na južnom zidu do crkve nalazi se grob opatice Vekenege koja je umrla 1111. godine • kamene stepenice vode do prostorije na prvom katu zvonika, gdje četiri stupa nose široka kamena rebra križnog svoda (jedan od najstarijih primjeraka takvog svoda u europskoj arhitekturi uopće). Na zidovima ima ostataka freski iz vremena gradnje • Na vanjskoj strani zvonika, u visini prvog kata, je natpis iz 1105. koji kaže da je Koloman, kralj Ugarske, Dalmacije i Hrvatske, dao novac za izgradnju...

A small, simple Romanesque style church located just off the old Roman forum. In the four days that I was in Zadar it was never open, so I'm not sure if it's open to the public. There is a monastery and a small museum attached to the church. There is also a rather large parking lot located right next to it which detracts quite a bit from its old-world charm. Still, it is a nice backdrop for photos, and a...
