Five Wells Square
The Renaissance Five Wells Square in Zadar is encircled by the western Medieval wall and the Captain's Tower that rises 26 metres, and by the supporting wall on the east with the entrance to the Queen Jelena Madije Park. You have not been to Zadar if you have not taken a picture here.
The Five Wells Square in Zadar was built in 1574 during the siege of the Ottoman Empire army, when the defensive moat was covered up on the west side of the bastion, previously excavated in the Middle Ages. In its place, a large cistern for drinking water with five decorated wellheads was built, and parts of the aqueduct that used to bring water directly from the Vrana Lake, have been preserved. After the danger had passed, a protective wall was built on the site.
