THE SEA ORGAN | ZADAR | CROATIA
Date: June 2024
City: Zadar, Croatia
Location: Al Jahili Fort
On a recent trip to Croatia, we made a last-minute decision to stop in Zadar on our way from Plitvice Lakes to Dubrovnik. Our aspiration, to hear for ourselves the mesmerizing sounds of Nikola Bašić's Sea Organ. Made-up of 35 pipes that stretch across 70 meters of the beautiful Zadar Peninsula coastline, the Sea Organ is a true architectural wonder. The pipes are located at the lowest level of the tide and as the sea greets the instrument it creates a unique song to accompany the beautiful sunset.
When we arrived around 7:00PM, we joined the crowd that had already gathered along the steps of the Organ, listening to its mesmerizing moans as the sun began to set.
It is my hope that you experience a piece the serenity we felt through the videos and images below.
