Great place for a walk and taking some pictures. It’s also at the top of the hill so it’s a good workout. A few nice historic building nearby as well.

Gorgeous church from the outside. Absolutely perfect from every angle. There's not much to see inside - It feels more like a community center than a historic special space. It is located on a small hill between the houses, near also a children's playground. I highly recommend nearby the restaurant Meatballs for the people it's about 5 minutes walk from the church - you can taste meatballs of all kinds of meat here

Sofia kyrka looks like a slott, the special arrangement is the chairs, arranged the same shape along with the kyrka.

Disappointing and unpleasant... Feels more like a pocket shop than a church and they won't let you use the bathroom either.

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.
