It cost 20 kuna/2.20gbp/2.70euro/3.50usd per person. There was a display on of lots of different sculptures of the crucifix. Upstairs there was a nice view of the Roman Forum and the water. Worth the visit. Also, notice the bottom of the building from the outside and different spots on the inside. When they built St Donat the recycled parts of... More

We didnt go into the church but we did climb the tower twice!!!! We first wen up during the day and the view was amazing, so much so that we commented that it must be even better at night. On our way down we asked the guide if we could come back in the evening using the same ticket or... More

When we visited, there was a 'sound' exhibition on. It was in my opinion expensive for the entrance, only to have this absolute din carrying on. Highlighted the vast difference of the din made by man as opposed to the soothing tones made by nature at the sea organ :) The building itself is worth visiting, but would do better... More

To me it sounded like a whole lot of pots and pans and cutlery being cleaned. This beautiful church was echoing the modern sounds of zadar.... More

We didn't tour the inside of the church, but the square that the church is located is very unique. A friend, native to Croatia, explained that the church was built on ruins from other buildings (columns from older building laid down for the foundation) which are visible. There are many pieces of Roman artifacts and buildings located in the square... More

St. Donat is a must-see if ever in Zadar. It's not always open, so if it is, make it a definite stop. Inside are ancient columns and stone carvings that truly are marvels in and of themselves. More
