Countless buildings and monuments attest to the rich intellectual and cultural heritage of the city. At the end of the Western Quay is Zadar's newest feature, the Sea Organ.

When the sea pushes air through the whistles, a series of melancholy chords are Played, with the sound emerging through the perforated stone stairs.
