Introduction
The Land Gate is Zadar's main old-town entrance from the Venetian era, on the city's land side, designed by Michelozzo in Renaissance style with an arch bearing St Donatus and the city's heraldic arms. Once the ceremonial gateway in and out of Zadar, it now stands quietly among greenery and paths as the first historic silhouette on entering the old town. Behind it, stone lanes lead to the Sea Organ, the Roman forum and St Donatus — the natural start of a Zadar walk.
