A very interesting historical landmark and surroundings. We enjoyed a lovely and tasty lunch lunch.

Fine food and snacks,, but the building is very nice, you can go into a room next to the cafe and there you’ll find some more old rooms from the fort.

Camped here for one night. Quite a lovely place, worth a visit! We were in luck with a quiet moment, apparently it can get very crowded during the weekends and holidays. Sanitary building was kept neat. There was also a possibility to keep any groceries cold in a fridge and take shelter in case of bad weather. The only minus that stood out was the little space between the camping spots.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a cycling trip. Had a salmon club which was delicious as well as a radler and a coffee. No English menu but the staff helped me through it. Went to pay with visa (all I had on me) and we learned it was not possible. They were gracious enough to provide my lunch on the house! Bottom line great food and hospitable staff!

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.
