WAR TOUR ZADAR or HOW ZADAR REFUSED TO FALL

Zadar is a town with long history of playing a defense...Being so smartly located by the sea, with rich fertile grounds behind it was many times a victim of various conquerors. Through this route we will try to give you an overview of recent events in town's history; what sequence of events lead to a Homeland war, how Zadar was attacked, how was organized its' defense, how people lived throughout and what actions were crucial in overturning the chances...

We will start a tour at underground military bunker C-47, revitalized through Interreg project Revival. It is an amazing fact that Zadar surroundings has over 200 bunkers! You will have a chance to visit few along our route. We continue to another location with bunker located on Travičina glavica, where water tanks are hidden.
