On the western end of Zadar’s Riva, you’ll find what looks like a series of broad steps leading into the water. Extending approximately 70 meters along the coast, the marble stairs descending into the sea are actually an example of some very clever engineering. Below the stairs are 35 pipes of different lengths and diameters, and as the water and air funnel into the resonant chambers, they produce chime-like notes hence the name “Sea Organ”. Because the sea is always shifting, the sounds produced by the sea organ are always unique and are never the same twice. Sea Organ is such a unique and interesting sight to both hear and see.
