This has to be the biggest museum I’ve ever been to. Yes, as everyone already mention it has nine floors and each one is so interesting. We went around 12 in the morning and the ticket costed 8€ each since it was closing after 2 hours so I would say that was definitely worth it and we did manage to go through all the floors with a ticket half the price. Beautiful exhibition and definitely a must visit!

Lots to see and learn here - it’s a huge museum. Very interesting if you’re into learning more about the maritime industry and the extensive history behind it. Great gift shop as well. The building has been beautifully renovated and is a beautiful space to wander around.

Wonderful naval museum! Large with different themes such as History of navigation, merchant, military, rescue/security, weapons... with many models, videos, photos, replicas... very well organized in a nine-story building!

Amazing place from warship to cargo vessels. If your kids like ship, it is a “should visit” as they have a huge amount of ships model for your kids, they can tell you a lot of stories if they are really an expert. U-boot section is a MUST visit area for real gurus. Don’t miss the historic board which you can see the scale of the number of warships being built for WWII, you will be shocked by it.

Amazing museum with 9 floors. You can see a lot of exhibitions about navy and ships. A lot pf interesting ship models here and the last floor shows the collection of ship models which is so nice. The museum is bigger than I thought can take up to 4 hours to visit everything

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
