Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus is considered by many the symbol of Zadar. This majestic circular building is one of the finest examples of Byzantine style in the whole country.

The first floor is dedicated to the permanent exhibition of the ancient collection. The second floor shows off the permanent exhibition of the prehistoric collection.

Church of St Simeon

Despite its humble exterior, this small Baroque church, named after one of the patron saints of the city, houses one of Zadar's highlights: the St Simeon Chest. A fine example of medieval silversmith, dating back to the 1381, this highly decorated silver casket placed just above the main altar contains the mummified body of St Simeon.
