A must visit place! Toulouse Lautrec’ ancestral chateau. There were only three of us but Lady gave us a very interesting tour of the whole chateau. Huge amount of interesting exhibits related to the artist and his children’ drawings on the wall, as well as original furniture etc. JUST WOW!

If you’re a fun of Impressionism you’d be glad to visit the Castel where Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec spent his childhood. You can take a guided tour and check the interior and things right from the past.

Very interesting but much better if you speak French. The printed guide, in English, only tells you what is in each room and not the history.

Visite intéressante mais trop peu de temps pour regarder les œuvres du peintre. Ce que nous avons vu était intéressant mais nous espérions voir un peu plus que 5 pièces du château.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
