Did You Know?
The Sea Organ, built in 2005, is a set of 35 pipes under marble steps that the waves push air through, producing chords that change with the swell. Beside it, a solar-powered light installation runs off the day's collected energy.
The clock: Zadar keeps UTC+1. Alfred Hitchcock said its sunset was the most beautiful in the world, which the tourist board has never allowed anyone to forget.
