Church of St Donat
The Church of St Donat in Zadar has long been desacralized, meaning no liturgies are held here, and from the end of the 19th century until 1954 it housed the Zadar Archaeological Museum. As St Donat has exceptional acoustic characteristics, it has been the venue for Renaissance music festivals for decades.
The monumental medieval monument was built in the 9th century on the model of early Roman (Byzantine) architecture. It was first named the Church of the Holy Trinity, and then later it bore the name of Bishop Donat who had it built. Today it is used as the venue for musical programmes. It represents the most famous monument of Zadar, to which many songs have been dedicated.
