Zadal is an ancient city built in the Roman period. We first saw the huge, spectacular stone gates, with stone-carved winged lions, which should be the symbol of Venice's reign. Known as the "Gate of the Land" (the old city and the "Gate of the Sea"), a masterpiece of the late Renaissance architecture. In the mid-12th century, the rise of the Venetian Republic brought disaster to Zadar, oppression, resistance, uprising, but in 1409 Zadar and the rest of Dalmatia were occupied by the Venetians, this occupation is hundreds of years.
