Zadar (English spelling)
A city in southwestern Croatia. Located on the Dalmatian coast, it has a good natural harbor surrounded by islands. It became a Roman province in the 1st century BC, and after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it prospered as the administrative and cultural center of Byzantine Dalmatia. In the 10th century, it became part of the Kingdom of Croatia, and after a long battle with the Venetian Republic (→Venice), it was sold to Venice by the Croatian king in 1409. In 1797, it became part of Austria, in 1920 it became part of Italy, and from 1944 to 1991 it became part of the former Yugoslavia. In addition to seafood processing and textile manufacturing, it produces the famous cherry brandy maraschino (marasca). There are many historical buildings, including the unusual circular 9th century St. Donatus Church, St. Mary's Church (1091), and the Romanesque St. Krusevan Church (1175). The fortresses and other defense facilities built under the rule of the Venetian Republic are a testament to the expansion and prosperity of the Republic in the 16th and 17th centuries, and in 2017, they were registered as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) along with five other constituent sites in Italy, Croatia, and Montenegro. The city is home to an archaeological museum, an archive, a theater, and a branch campus of the University of Zagreb. Population: 71,471 (2011).
