The Land Gate (Kopnena Vrata) is one of Zadar’s most iconic historical landmarks, located in the city’s Old Town. Built in 1543 by the Venetian architect Michele Sanmicheli, it served as the main entrance to the fortified city during the Venetian Republic. It is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture and holds immense historical and cultural significance.

Key Features:

Design: • The gate is adorned with elaborate carvings, including a central triumphal arch flanked by two smaller arches. • At the top, it features the Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of Venice, signifying Zadar’s importance as part of the Venetian Republic during that time. • It also includes decorative elements such as coats of arms and inscriptions. Function: • The Land Gate was strategically positioned as part of the city’s defensive walls, which protected Zadar from Ottoman attacks. • It connected the city to the mainland via a drawbridge over the Fosa, a narrow moat that still exists today. Cultural Significance: • Today, the Land Gate is a preserved part of Zadar’s UNESCO-listed Venetian fortifications. • It stands as a symbol of Zadar’s rich history and its strategic importance in the Adriatic during the Renaissance period.

Modern Use:

The Land Gate is now a pedestrian passage and a favorite spot for visitors exploring the Old Town. Its location near the Fosa Harbor makes it a picturesque entrance to Zadar’s...

The Land Gate, Zadar Το Ζαντάρ υπήρξε μια από τις πιο επιβλητικές πόλεις του Μεσαίωνα και προστατευόταν από ισχυρά τείχη, που σήμερα έχουν συμπεριληφθεί στον κατάλογο παγκόσμιας κληρονομιάς της UNESCO. Διέθετε έξι εισόδους μεταξύ των οποίων και η Land Gate (Πύλη της Ξηράς) στα νότια, κοντά στο μικρό λιμάνι Foša (γνωστή και ως Πύλη της Πόλης ή Kopnena vrata στα Κροατικά), που αποτελούσε και την κύρια είσοδος της πόλης. Θεωρείται η πιο εντυπωσιακή κατασκευή του ενετικού αμυντικού συστήματος και το αριστούργημα του Michele Sanmicheli. Η Χερσαία Πύλη χρονολογείται από το 1543 ως μέρος του οχυρωματικού αμυντικού συστήματος που εφάρμοσαν οι Ενετοί, για να προστατεύσουν την πόλη από τις οθωμανικές επιθέσεις. Έχει τη μορφή θριαμβικής αψίδας με 3 περάσματα. Η κεντρική δίοδος προορίζεται για τροχοφόρα και άμαξες, ενώ οι δύο πλαϊνές για πεζούς. Πρόκειται για μια μεγαλειώδη πύλη σε στυλ θριαμβευτικής αψίδας αναγεννησιακού ρυθμού εξαιρετικής σχεδίασης. Φέρει συμμετρικά τέσσερις ημικίονες στο κέντρο και δύο πεσσούς στα άκρα, που υποβαστάζουν επιστύλιο και τη ζώνη με τρίγλυφα και μετόπες. Στο κέντρο φέρει ανάγλυφο (σχεδόν ολόγλυφο) το σύμβολο της Βενετικής Δημοκρατίας, το περίφημο φτερωτό λιοντάρι του Αγίου Μάρκου. Εκατέρωθεν του λιονταριού υπάρχουν αφιερωματικές επιγραφές και οικόσημα. Στο υπέρθυρο της κεντρικής πύλη υπάρχει αναπαράσταση έφιππου του πολιούχου του Ζαντάρ, Αγίου Χρυσόγονου. Στο εξωτερικό της πύλης είχε ανασκαφεί βαθιά τάφρος. Η επικοινωνία γινόταν με δύο κινητές γέφυρες. Ο μηχανισμός άμυνας της πόλης ήταν σοφά σχεδιασμένος και το Ζαντάρ είχε αποκτήσει τη φήμη...

The 1543 entrance gate in Zadar impresses with its history and architecture. The Venetian walls are adorned with reliefs of a lion and St. Chrysogonus. Definitely worth seeing! Nearby, there's a shady park and a picturesque bay offering cruises for diving or sunset views. The gate was a crucial part of the city's defense during the Venetian Republic era and symbolizes its rich cultural heritage. Highly...
