Yesterday we docked in Zadar, Croatia, and spent the day exploring the region with Viking Cruises. We started in the town of Novigrad, where we walked the cobblestone streets with its original medieval architecture and hillside fortress, learning what life would have been like during those times. Our next stop was the viewpoint in this photo, showing the beauty of Novigrad above the Adriatic Sea. (Yes, the sea!) We then visited a farm in Nadin, where we were welcomed with produce like figs, almonds, and a variety of liqueurs produced there. Just as I thought we were moving on, the family opened the door to what we learned was a tavern, and served us lunch of prosciutto, ripe tomatoes, cheese, olive oil, and bread, again, all produced or made right there. It was a delicious surprise and I love when big companies like Viking support local. I can’t imagine what that partnership means to that lovely family. ❤️ Because the ship was docked just across the street from the Old Town of Zadar, we had time to explore it, as well. We saw ruins from the first century B.C. Roman Forum, ninth century Church of St. Donat, and the Zadar Cathderal. It’s just about 2 miles around the old town, and worth the walk! Finally, we sat on the steps of the Sea Organ, listening to the erie music it produces under the gentle waves, and walked over the Greeting to the Sun installation which solar panels create a light show which lasts all night. We finished the day with a fantastic meal at Manfredi’s, the Italian specialty restaurant onboard the ship. Stay tuned for Dubrovnik! Have you been to Croatia?

Beautiful Romanesque Cathedral in central Zadar built in 12/13th century. Named after the Sirmian martyr, to whom two popes bowed down; Alexander the III, who visited her tomb, and John Paul II, who bowed down in 2003 at the gate of the Cathedral. There is also a bell tower that is well worth the small fee to climb the stairs to the top where you will have great 360 degree views over the city (see photos). The stairs are quite narrow but for anyone struggling with steps there is a stopping place at about 5 points on the way up so you can rest in-between. A lot of the cathedral has been rebuilt after being bombed in WWII. Whilst it is free to visit as others have said there is a very rude lady on the door. Whilst it is totally reasonable and normal in a lot of coutries ot ask people to not enter wearing vest tops/shorts this lady was very aggressive and let the lady in front of me in with similar length shorts but told me mine weren’t in a rude manner and to respect God. We said nothing and went back the next day in trousers and saw her again being rude to someone else.

Zadar cathedral is the greatest church in the city but when compared with great cathedrals of other European cities it does not impress. Like the rest of the city it is one of the sum of the parts that makes Zadar quaint, on its own its just ok. No entry fee required, there is a donation box in the entryway if you wish to contribute to the temple's maintenance. Masks required inside as of August 2021. Also modest dress is required i.e., no tank tops or short, shorts. There are a couple of nice looking chapels that are worth taking a look at. the main altar itself is very bare and plain.

I talk to the lady (as a guide or guardian the cathedral) and she says that this cathedral is the biggest cathedral in Dalmatian. Some people in YouTube report this cathedral is the smallest cathedral and it isn’t true :) In this cathedral they still have few times holy mass. There is also relic of St. Anastasia on the left side of the altar. It’s the ashes and the bone of st. Anastasia. In this area there are few churches and chapels. Some people put other pictures in the review of cathedral (and it’s not correct) There is no admission to come to this cathedral.

Cathedral of Saint Anastasia (Katedrala svete Stošije/Anastazije) Καθεδρικός Ναός Αγίας Αναστασίας. Ο ναός της Αγίας Αναστασίας είναι ο ρωμαιοκαθολικός καθεδρικός ναός, έδρα της Αρχιεπισκοπής του Ζαντάρ και η μεγαλύτερη εκκλησία σε όλη τη Δαλματία (η παράκτια περιοχή της Κροατίας). Ο ναός χτίστηκε το 12ο και 13ο αιώνα, πάνω σε ένα παλαιότερο κτίριο του 9ου και 11ου αιώνα, το οποίο ανεγέρθηκε στη θέση μιας παλαιοχριστιανικής βασιλικής. Συνεπώς, οι απαρχές του ναού χρονολογούνται πολύ νωρίς τον 4ο και 5ο αιώνα. Κατά την πολιορκία του Ζαντάρ από τους Ενετούς κα Σταυροφόρους της Δ΄ Σταυροφορίας το 1202, υπέστη τόσο μεγάλες ζημιές που πέρασε ολόκληρο τον 13ο αιώνα σε ανοικοδόμηση. Το καμπαναριό άρχισε να χτίζεται το 1452 και ολοκληρώθηκε το 1894. Στην κορυφή του υπάρχει μια οκταγωνική πυραμίδα με ένα ορειχάλκινο άγαλμα αγγέλου που περιστρέφεται ανάλογα με την κατεύθυνση του ανέμου. Ο καθεδρικός ναός υπέστη επίσης μεγάλη ζημιά κατά το βομβαρδισμό του Ζαντάρ στο Β' Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο. Η μεταπολεμική αυτή ανακατασκευή έδωσε στο ναό και τη σημε-ρινή του εμφάνιση. Η Βασιλική ήταν αφιερωμένη στον Άγιο Πέτρο τον Απόστολο, αλλά από τότε που ο επίσκοπος του Ζαντάρ Donatus παρέλαβε τα λείψανα της Αγίας Αναστασίας της Σιρμίου, γνωστή ως Stošija, από τον αυτοκράτορα Νικηφόρο Α' (αρχές του 9ου αιώνα) και τα μετέφερε στο ναό, η βασιλική πήρε το όνομά της. Ο Donatus παρήγγειλε μια σαρκοφάγο για τα λείψανα της Αγίας, τα οποία φυλάσσονται ακόμα στο ναό. Η είσοδος στον καθεδρικό ναό είναι δωρεάν. Ωστόσο, η τιμή της ανόδου στο καμπαναριό είναι 2€.
