Zadar In Your Pocket - Narodni Trg

Two monuments dominate Narodni Trg (People's Square) the City Sentinel (Gradska straža) and the City Lodge (Gradska loža). The City Sentinel designed by a Venetian architect in the late Renaissance style, with a large central clock tower and a surrounding stone barrier and railing with holes for cannons (both later additions). The building once housed the Ethnographic Section of the National Museum, one of the most important collections in the country, and worth seeing for the rich colours of local national costumes, textiles (weaving and lace), jewellery, agricultural, fishing and household objects.
The City Lodge was built by the same architet as the City Sentinel, this building once was the city's courthouse, council chambers and library. With its huge windows and high ceilings, it nowadays serves as a stunning exhibition space, hosting events such as the international photography triennial Man and the Sea and the triennial of contemporary Croatian art The Blue Salon.
