There’s no English explanations under every object which makes the museum boring. I liked it’s location

Its a good museum, however it would be better if there is an English translation for every part of the museum.

Really cool place to visit, first we were just going through but one worker asked us if we wanted an English tour through the museum. It was only 6 euro s for our own tour guide. Of course her English wasn't native but yet it was really interesting to see the history of Ukraine. And in my opinion they display it here really well

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.
