Sea Organ (Morske Orgulje)

Obala Petra Krešimira 4, Zadar, Zadar, 23000

The Basics

Much of Zadar’s waterfront was destroyed during the Second World War, and the Sea Organ was designed to help revitalize the city’s coast. Opened to the public in 2005, the organ is now a beloved site for tourists and locals alike. White marble steps lead down to the water concealing the 35 organ pipes that whistle and sing as the waves push air through them.

Zadar’s Monument to the Sun

Another creation by Nikola Bašić, Zadar’s Monument to the Sun is located a few steps from the Sea Organ. The monument is a circle 72 feet (22 meters) in diameter consisting of 300 multilayered glass plates with solar panels underneath. The panels absorb energy from the sun during the day, which is converted into electricity to power a unique light show at night. The Monument to the Sun also generates enough energy to power the entire waterfront at night.
