The most famous monument and a symbol of the city is the church of St. Donatus from the 9th century which was built on the remains of the ancient Roman Forum. One of distinguished sacral monuments is also the Cathedral of St. Anastasia with a bell tower which dominates the peninsula. St. Mary’s church from the 11th century belongs to a Benedictine monastery of the same name, which keeps a valuable collection of medieval charters mentioning 11th century Croatian kings. Many sacral monuments of the Zadar area exist today owing to the historical course of events. Medieval Zadar with various churches and monasteries was a Christian centre of Dalmatia.
