The pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donat dates back to the ninth century, and it is certainly Zadar's most famous spot. Zadar is also well known for having the attractive Romanesque churches: Cathedral of St. Anastasia from 13th century and Church of St. Chrysogonus from 12th century as well as the church tower of St. Mary dating back from 12th century too.
The town is fortified with medieval walls, distinguished for their pretty and impressive ports � entries in the city all dating back to the sixteenth century.
Zadar was the centre of key Croatian and Dalmatian cultural events : the establishment of the first Croatian university (1396), the writing of the first Croatian novel (1536) and the publication of the first Croatian newspaper. The famous permanent exhibition of sacral art and the traditional St. Donat Musical Evenings represent only a small part of numerous cultural events that Zadar offers to its visitors.
