Designed by Nikola Basic, the local architect behind the marvelous Sea Organ which is also on our list, Sun Salutation is another wonderful and unique creation to see in Zadar. The monument, which is also sometimes called “Greeting to the Sun”, comprises 300 multi-layered glass plates which are set on a stone-paved waterfront. The plates collect the sun’s energy during the day; the energy is then used to cast a magnificent light show which simulates the solar system during the night. Not only does the monument collect enough energy for the nightly light show, but also enough to power the entire harbor-front lighting system. It is a one-of-a-kind attraction symbolizing communication with light and nature and is sure to be enjoyed by the entire family.

Address: Istarska obala, 23000, Zadar, Croatia
