The subject of many songs, Kalelarga is the main street of Zadar, and for the locals it is the main urban center of the city. Kalelarga is a symbol of Zadar and the main place to celebrate beautiful moments, hang out with friends and have fun. Walking through Kalelarga, you will reach the People’s Square, where the tradition of Zadar’s taverns originated, which continues to this day. The People’s Square was voted the most beautiful Croatian square by the Croatian Tourist Board, during the ‘I love Croatia’ campaign.

These art installations are guaranteed to delight all your senses and leave you amazed.
