What an amazingly beautiful lock.... ?++++ We only viewed it from the outside and really enjoyed the very beautiful and well-kept gardens...???

The Heringastate, or also the Poptalot, is a relatively small fortress, but the beautiful interior and certainly the very enthusiastic narrating guide made it an unforgettable experience. Daily and hourly guided tours only in July and August. Highly recommended. Thanks again to our guide, we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful castle near the highway. Nice to stop and take a walk. Admire the well-kept castle garden. A gem in the area which is already visible from a distance. It's great that it's so quiet there!

Very nice lock, but unfortunately was not open. The garden made up for everything. What a beautiful old chestnut can be found here

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.
