Zadar’s Architectural Miracle

Description:

The December edition of British Vogue Magazine lists Zadar's Sea Organ as one of the 25 places in the world that must be seen, according to the Zadar Tourist Board. The Sea Organ, located near the new cruiser port on Zadar's Riviera, is both a work of architecture and an experimental musical instrument that plays music through sea waves in pipes underneath large marble steps. The device was designed by the architect Nikola Bašić as part of the project to redesign the new city coast (Nova Riva), and the site was opened to the public on 15 April 2005.
In 2006, the Sea Organ was awarded with the prize ex-aequo of the fourth edition of the European prize for Urban Public Space.
