a visually underwhelming church located next to Petar Zoranic Squre. It hoses the supposed remains of st. Simeon, though that should be taken more on faith than anything else. The church is very strict on visitors, all must be decently dressed and no water or food of any kind will be allowed inside. There is a very rude and aggressive guard who will enforce said restrictions with a truly crusading zeal.

Be careful taking pictures inside this church. A crazy man ( no idea if he's a priest or wathelse) start yelling and shouting at me inside the church because I was taking pictures. He orderered me to delete them as I did because he was looking totally insane and I did not want to loose my camera. Be careful.

Very nice architecture in Zadar. A bit different from the other cathedrals

Very nice church in the old town. Initially this church was an Early Christian three-nave basilica, then a Gothic building, and later a monument of Baroque characteristics. On its main Altar there is a silver casket with the relics of St Simeon, dating back to 1380. The Casket of St Simeon is considered to be the most valuable work of Medieval goldsmith art in Croatia, which was ordered by the Hungaro-Croatian Queen Elizabeth for the relics of St Simeon. It was made by the goldsmith Franciscus de Mediolano (of Milan), who was living in Zadar at the time, and in the south of the Church of St Simeon there is a Roman column that was put there from the Forum in 1729, and which is made of two preserved columns from the city temple on the Capitolium.

It was closed when I went but from outside seemed an interesting church with architecture differing from the other Zadar churches.
