A large garden centre with lots of good quality plants, garden equipment and various other ornaments, pots, etc. Good service and good quality. The car park is quite small and gets crowded during the weekends abs holidays.

Beautiful, well cared for plants, kind staff, clean store and great selection. Love just coming here for a walk around and then pick up a lil plant to take home.

Very nice place to find probably any plant you could think of for your garden, balcony or window shelf :) a bit on expensive side though... For example 6x strawberry plants are 99DKK

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.
