St Donat's church, 9th cent.

The symbol of the city of Zadar and the most famous monumental edifice in Croatia from the early Middle Ages was built in 9th century. Until the 15th century it was called the Church of the Holy Trinity and from that time on carries the name of Saint Donat, by the bishop who had it built. The church was mentioned for the first time in mid 10th century in the documents of the Byzantine emperor Konstantin Porfirogenet. Today its space is used, due to its extraordinary acoustic features, for musical performances.
