Great disappointment for this visit to a indeed very beautiful park but the cost is disproportionate to the expectation We traveled 300 km to see hydrangeas in bloom I do not advise and obviously the very limited number of visitors proves me right

Magnificent place! A must see ! Very well maintained English garden. Even if you can only visit the garden and the postern, the castle being private, it is well worth it! View of the sea in the distance!

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.
