Shore Excursions: Zadar History, Culture & Church of Art Walking tour

Embarking on a guided history tour in Zadar is like unlocking a treasure chest of stories waiting to be discovered. As you stroll through its ancient streets, a certified local guide brings the past to life, revealing the hidden gems you might miss on your own.  Your journey begins at the Sea Organ, where waves dance upon marble steps, creating music that echoes the city's soul. From there, the majestic Land Gate—an awe-inspiring triumph arch—stands as a proud testament to Zadar's rich heritage. Here, you’ll feel the whispers of Roman legions and hear the laughter of townsfolk from centuries past.

But the adventure doesn’t conclude with just the sights. As you enter the Church of Art, the air is thick with reverence and anticipation. Although the walls stand silent, their treasures speak volumes. Your guide, a wellspring of knowledge, brings to life the exquisite Gold and Silver statuses and the Permanent Exhibition of Religious Art. With pieces dating back to the 7th and 12th centuries, each artifact offers a glimpse into the opulence of ancient Rome and the church's influence during medieval times.

Tour ends with the treasures of the church, where you can have your own time to explore the old town, maybe grab a meal or a drink before you return to the ship.
