St. Donat is one of the simbols of Zadar.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donatus of Zadar (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen (now Aachen Cathedral),and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism. It has three radially situated apses and an ambulatory around the central area, surmounted by circular gallery. The circular shape is typical of the early medieval age in Dalmatia. It was built on the Roman forum, and materials from buildings in the latter were used in its construction. Among the fragments which are built into the foundations it is still possible to distinguish the remains of a sacrificial altar on which is written IVNONI AVGUSTE IIOVI AVGUSTO.

The use of the church has varied during its lifetime; during the rule of the Republic of Venice it was a warehouse, as well as during the French occupation and under the Austrians. After the city was annexed to Yugoslavia, it served as an archaeological museum for a short period of time. The building is currently used as the concert venue for the annual International Festival of Medieval Renaissance Music (Musical Evenings in St Donatus) because of its acoustics.

Hi, welcome to my page. My name is Danijela (27)  and I am artist from Zadar, Croatia. I finished School of fine arts and design. I have been drawing, painting, creating since I was a child, and I have always seen myself in the role of an artist. Not the best artist in the world, but good enough to get messages from my work to reach people. Although there is darkness in name, I want to bring a little color to everyday life with my artworks. Everything I do is handmade with a lot of love and attention.
The inspiration for this creative order and clutter are exclusively feelings, each color, movement and line tells its own story ... why? Because I want to tell other people's stories, but also my own, because at the end of the day we are all just people. As an artist, I consider it my personal mission to draw people's attention to the problems we face every day as individuals but also as a society. Because we need to do better.
