The Roman Forum dates back to the 1st century, when it was established as the center of public life in Zadar. Until today, it has retained this important role. The former Forum consisted of a spacious sidewalk surrounded by regular-shaped stalls, in which craftsmen and traders had their shops. The basilica was located on the Forum’s southern and the temple on its western side. The remains of these buildings are still visible, as are the well-preserved fragments of stone slabs, sarcophagi and pillars. The remains of the Roman Forum with the imposing Church of St. Donatus in the background are perfect images worth capturing on camera while sightseeing through Zadar.
