University of Zadar and the Chapel of St Demetrius

The impressive building of the University of Zadar on the seafront was built at the beginning of the 20th century in Neoclassicist style for the needs of the former Lyceum of St Demetrius. The first University in Zadar was founded way back in 1396, and it was re-established in 2002.

The Chapel of St Demetrius was redecorated and renovated, and represents one of the rare examples of Neoclassicism in Dalmatia. Its ground plan is a square, upon which a dome on a drum rises, and the entire complex of buildings was built in the L shape, enclosing the bastion of the Zadar Citadel from the southern and western side. The building of the University of Zadar is one of the most beautiful buildings in Croatia, and before becoming a part of the renewed University, it was home to the Zadar Faculty of Philosophy.
