Zadar Roman Forum
The Zadar Roman Forum was constructed between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD and would have served as the center of daily activity in Roman Zadar. Several monuments can still be found in the Zadar Roman Forum. It stands in front of the well-known St Donatus Church.
Only the original pavement and stairs of the temple in the forum, as well as two massive columns, one of which is still in its original location, exist today, after more than two millennia. The column is supposed to be a shame pillar, with holes for chains, symbolizing the forum's social importance as a place of justice. The celebration location of the mystic worship of Cybele, the Great Mother, is a plastered wall with the remains of frescoes on the west side of the Capitolio.
The Zadar Roman Forum, an excellent example of its kind, is still home to various monuments and offers a beautiful perspective of the famed St Donatus Church. The location is still used for social gatherings, such as concerts, films, and other commemorative events.
Zadar is accessible by automobile by the 424; free parking is available on Ravnica, a 15-minute walk away. The Zadar Bus Terminal is a 25-minute walk away, and nextbike rents bicycle from there.
