Zadar City Gates

Once a formidable fortress in the Venetian Republic, Zadar’s old town is still encircled by remnants of its defensive walls, some dating back to ancient Roman times. Six distinct city gates, each with its own architectural style and motif, offer entry into the walled section. Visitors can explore these historic gateways, which not only provide access but also serve as a testament to the city’s rich and varied history. The gates stand as silent witnesses to centuries of change, inviting modern-day travelers to step through and experience the layers of Zadar’s past.
