Zadar is a city of rich and often turbulent history, which began almost three thousand years ago. The city’s earliest dwellers were the Illyrian tribes who lived in Dalmatia, and their oldest settlements date back to the 9th century B.C. The city’s days as part of the Roman Empire came to an end with the fall of the empire in the 5th century, and the city suffered a very bad period in the 5th and 6th centuries, under Ostrogoth rule.

In the 11th century Zadar became a part of Croatian lands for the first time along with the rest of Dalmatian cities. The period between the 11th and 14th century is considered a Golden Age of Zadar, despite its turbulent surroundings, with culture blossoming and the first university in Croatia being founded in Zadar in 1396.

The Venetians managed to get hold of Zadar in the 15th century, when Ladislaus of Naples sold them the city of Zadar, and the whole of Dalmatia. The city remained under Venetian rule until the end of the 18th century, when the Republic of Venice was abolished.

Zadar’s economic role during this period was greatly diminished and the city was forced to contend with two additional threats: the plague and the Ottomans (Turks). After a brief French rule at the beginning of the 19th century, Zadar became a part of the Austrian Empire, becoming a splendid, vibrant Dalmatian city once again.

Throughout the 20th century Zadar experienced Austrian, Italian, Yugoslav and finally Croatian rule. Heavy bombardment during WWII destroyed more than half of the original centre, and the end of the 20th century was marked by a series of attacks during the Croatian War of Independence.

Today, Zadar is a preserved monument of various historical times and cultures that have placed their boundaries and visible outlines of their urban appearance.
