When to go to Zadar?
Waves play Zadar's Sea Organ, pushing air through pipes beneath the marble steps so the pitch shifts with the swell. Beside it, the Greeting to the Sun lights up underfoot at dusk in slow patterns. Behind the waterfront, the round church of St Donatus stands on the stones of the Roman forum, and the sunsets earn the reputation Hitchcock gave them.
