Sunset in Zadar...Greetings to the sun is an art installation located in the port of Zadar, on the western point of the Zadar peninsula. It is overlooking the city harbor, islands and famous Zadar sunset...The Greetings to sun uses solar power to create a light show that displays at night. After sunset the lighting elements are activated installed in the circuit, and following a particularly programmed scenario, they produce very impressive show of light.

Overview

Home to a historic old town of Roman ruins, medieval churches, cosmopolitan cafes and quality museums set on a small peninsula, Zadar is an intriguing city. It’s not too crowded and its two unique attractions – the sound-and-light spectacle of the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation – need to be seen and heard to be believed.
