Got a gift from family so me and my husband came to get a look from inside the castle. So amazed with how they maintain everything to stay original. We had a really good time during our visit there. It was really worth our time. Had a better knowledge about the history. We really appreciate how good the guide to inform us about the story in every room.

It's a beautiful garden. I would highly recommend paying the entrance fee and going to the gardens if they are open. I was there on a Saturday and didn't see more than 4 more groups there, so it seemed as it was our own park! The castel itself was not open, and the entrance to the park is about 150m from where the castle is.

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.
