Zadar City Gate

Little remains of the ancient city, after the 1944 Allied bombings, but you can still see St Chrysogono Gate, the Gate of Zara and the famous Church of St. Donat in Zadar in the area the "Roman Forum". Zara was the old name of Zadar, and that gate is a vestige of the past, where Dalmatians sheltered, seeking protection from the Republic of Venice against Hungarian and Croatian harassment. The Lion of St. Mark, symbol of Venice, reminds us of the above.
