Welcome to Zadar
Zadar is a town in Dalmatia, Croatia, on the Adriatic Sea. It’s known as a cultural center, with a Roman amphitheater, a Gothic cathedral and a medieval bridge. It’s also home to a 15th-century aqueduct that still exists today. Understanding how Zadar has made a name for itself is helpful when describing this beautiful Mediterranean town.
The aqueducts in Zadar are a testament to the city’s history. The town was once the capital of the Croatian state. That fact makes it the former seat of the Croatian kings. The aqueducts were built in the 3rd century under Emperor Constantius II and his wife Theodora. They were later repaired by the Romans under Emperor Claudius II and his wife Agrippina. Apparently, they didn’t like working in cold water either; they built an octagonal bathhouse on top of the aqueducts to stay warm. After all this work, the aqueducts still stand as evidence of past civilizations.
