Dear colleagues from the TL, today, I shall give the city of Zadar.
It is a very old and very beautiful city.

Zadar is a city in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. It is the centre of Zadar county and the wider northern Dalmatian region. Zadar faces the islands of Ugljan and Pašman, from which it is separated by the narrow Zadar Strait. The promontory on which the old city stands used to be separated from the mainland by a deep moat which has since become a landfill. The harbor, to the north-east of the town, is safe and spacious. Zadar is the seat of a Catholic archbishop.

Zadar gained its urban structure in Roman times; during the time of Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus, the town was fortified and the city walls with towers and gates were built. On the western side of the town were the forum, the basilica and the temple, while outside the town were the amphitheatre and cemeteries. The aqueduct which supplied the town with water is partially preserved. Inside the ancient town, a medieval town had developed with a series of churches and monasteries being built.

The first university of Zadar was mentioned in writing as early as in 1396 and it was a part of a Dominican monastery. It closed in 1807.

Zadar was, along with Split and Dubrovnik, one of the centres of the development of Croatian literature.

The 15th and 16th centuries were marked by important activities of Croatians writing in the national language: Jerolim Vidolić, Petar Zoranić (who wrote the first Croatian novel, Planine), Brne Karnarutić, Juraj Baraković, Šime Budinić.

Under French rule (1806–1810), the first Dalmatian newspaper Kraglski Dalmatin - Il Regio Dalmata was published in Zadar. It was printed in Italian and Croatian; this last used for the first time in a newspaper.

In the second half of the 19th century, Zadar was a centre of the movement for the cultural and national revivals in Dalmatia (Italian and Croatian).

Hi Adrian,

Marveloous capture of the historical building with wonderful use of the natural light. The sharpness and POV are perfect and I like the bright red colored roof. The mountain-chain in the BG bring dynamism to te picture.

Very well done, my friend.

regards,
Paras

Hi Adrian,

You've captured this interesting and wonderful architecture well. The off-center placement of the buildings gives a nice view of the mountains in the background. Very sharp and colorful, TFS.

Best regards,
Werner

dear Adrian,
a wonderful view shot of very original buildings there,
those figures, sharp tall tower and round auditorium, are quite like in old tales,
distant mountains and surrounding trees match those very well.
thank you for your beautiful picture,
Akihisa

Hi Again Adrian,

TFS and have a nice Sunday!
Cheers,

Bayram
