Embrace Zadar is a multi-day event through which Zadar celebrates the anniversary of its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In 2024, we mark seven years since the inscription of Zadar city walls in "The Defensive Systems of the Republic of Venice from the 16th to 17th Centuries: Stato da Terra – Western Stato da Mar" and the corresponding component "Defensive System of Zadar" on the World Heritage List.
The city of Zadar, in collaboration with the Zadar Tourist Board, the International Centre for Underwater Archaeology, the Zadar Concert Office, the Museum of Ancient Glass, the Scientific Library, Paklenica National Park, the Zadar Quiz Association, and the Tourist Guides Association "Donat" – Zadar, has prepared a multi-day program called "Embrace Zadar."
