A beautiful place, definitely worth a visit. The coffered ceiling is full of ancient symbols. There are benches on the church island, it is landscaped, it is pleasant to contemplate and think about the things of life. Unfortunately, the crossing bridge is very rotten in some places, people with heavier weight and jumping children should be careful!

Very nice! Clean, tidy environment, this is what this iconic monument deserves! The coffered ceiling is amazing. And I say this not because my dear son has confirmed here, but without the pastors, this place would not be what it is. It was good to come back here!

Very nice church! We were there at 11 a.m. on Sunday and it was just worship! The pastor greeted me kindly and the congregation was direct. The living history, colors and shapes are beautiful!

Beautiful church in wonderful surroundings. The immediate surroundings of the church are being renovated, so the construction is deteriorating on the outside ... I remembered from the previous pictures the larger surrounding water surface, in addition to less water, the aquatic plants also give the building a different character from the outside, but it is still beautiful ...

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.
