During this year’s vacation I also visited the city of Zadar. Zadar is a port city in northern Dalmatia and is the capital of Zadar County and the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese. It is also known for the largest church in Dalmatia. The Cathedral in Zadar or the Cathedral of Sv. Anastasia is a triadic Romanesque church located in Zadar, Croatia. It is the largest church in Dalmatia. Built in two phases in the 12th and 13th centuries, with the preserved older one from the 9th and 11th centuries, built on the site of an early Christian basilica. The beginnings of the construction of the Zadar Cathedral go back to history, dating back to the 4th or 5th century. The bell tower of the Zadar cathedral was made in two stages. The ground floor and first floor were built in 1452 (during the time of Archbishop Vallaress) and the upper floors were between 1890 and 1894; modeled after the bell tower in Rab, it was built by English architect and art historian Thomas Graham Jackson.

I have never been to Zadar but If I go I will think of this post
Thanks for viewing and kind comment, my friend….if you ever visit Zadar you have to go to the old part of town … really nice
Not being able yet to visit such an impressive place is indeed arouse curiosity, but at least with this kind of post, I can already see and admire it, dear friend.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Albert…how nice it is to see you again … alive and well
What an unusual place but I really like it…
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Pamela…I’m glad you like it
Go, Croatia! They look like they will qualify for the Euros in 2020.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, my friend…right now it really shows them well …
Nice pictures pal – do you have any of the insides? sorry so many questions – is it a cobblestone square? The old center of the town?
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend….I do not have any picture of the interior because it was at the time of my visit to the wedding and I was not able to get in …. exactly in the middle of the city … what stone is it, but I can hardly say – it looks like it is really square stone .. ..I’ll know
awsome, just loved the picture so I had a lot of questions!
As many questions as I ask you, this is a little, dear friend … I’m happy to answer you …. but I’ll definitely visit this church again to paint it inside … they say it’s beautiful
please share the pictures, I want to see the stained glass windows from the inside!!!!!
It won’t be that soon … next year …. but I will do my best and paint some stained glass in another church …. many of them are very beautiful and unique
So much history behind the building. Very stately and majestic.

Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend
it looks kinda post classical to me. what do I know about architecture?
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend….you probably know a lot about architecture
honestly, it is my weak point…
It’s almost hard to believe … I have quite a few weak points, dear friend
when I specialize in one area, I ignore all the other areas so never had much time for architecture
