Zadar Guided Tour with Virtual Reality Experience

VR tour will take you to the church of St. Krševan - eng. Chrysogonus. It was male Benedictine's monastery church built in 1175. This is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches you will ever see, well preserved on the outside. It is closed for public and often forgotten by tourists, but you will have the unique opportunity to see monastery courtyard and to visit the interior using VR glasses.

You will see interior of the church of St. Simeon and the biggest city's treasure - silver pleated Ghotic chest for the relics of St. Simeon, favorite patron saint to this day.

Here you will learn more about construction of the Roman gates that were entrance into the antique city of Zadar. Afterwards, you will see where was the entrance to the Medieval city of Zadar and finally, you will see the construction of the Venetian walls.

First you will visit the remains of the Roman Forum within Zadar's old town. It was the biggest Forum built in Croatia, built from 1st until 3rd century and now it is visable only as ruins. With VR glasses you will see the construction of the Forum looking from the air, from hot-air balloon while an audio guide will introduce you to the intreresting facts about it. Besides that, you will enter the Forum and you will be standing in the very center of it, surrounded by recreated buildings and statues. At the end you will be standing in front of the temple dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva dating from the 1st century BC. You will hear the story about ancient religious rituals. When the VR visual ends, you will take off the VR glasses and you will be amazed to learn that some parts of the construction of the Forum are still being present at their original place even after 2000 years of history.

This is another visual of the bombing in WW II and you will be looking at Zadar's old town as if you are standing at the top of the St. Anastasia's bell tower. You will see air attack and bombing of the city. There will be buildings burning and crashing due to airplanes dropping bombs. At the end you will see a map showing heavily damaged areas of the city, that do not exist anymore.

St. Anastasia's cathedral was built in the 12th and 13th century and it is the largest cathedral in Dalmatia region. St. Anastasia is one of the saint protectors of the city and her relics lay inside the cathedral. With our VR glasses you will be able to visit the cathedral, hear the story of st. Anastasia and take a look inside the baptistery and sacristy, places that are closed for public.

You will visit the location of the former city market where people used to sell fish, vegetables, fruits and other products. Today's open city market lies at the opposite side of the city because former city market was destroyed during the bombing in WW II. People usually do not know that Zadar was heavily damaged in those bombings and with VR glasses you will be able to see residential buildings and a post office that doesn't exist anymore. Furthermore, you will witness aeroplanes dropping bombs on the city.

At Zadar's sea promenade you will visit Greeting to the Sun and Sea Organ, built in 2005. With VR glases you will see how that location looked back in time, in 13th century to be more precise. Once again, you will be standing in the hot-air-balloon looking at the Crusaders attacking Zadar from the sea and you will hear the background story of Crusaders attacking Zadar, which was a Catholic city.
