The Zadar Sea Organ

Показать описание
One of the most unique attractions ready to discover is Croatia’s Sea Organ.

Located on the seafront promenade of Croatia’s northern town Zadar, this installation is a first of its kind in the country.

Commissioned in 2005 by architect Nikola Bašić alongside expert Dalmatia stone carvers, the Sea Organ in Zadar was created as a way to connect the locals back to the Adriatic Sea.

35 organ pipes have been carved along 70 meters of the promenade on the riva’s northwestern corner. Chiseled into 7 steps, the installation works by using 7 chords of 5 tones changing as you make your way down the promenade.

Depending on the time of day, the Zadar Sea Organ will play music of varying tunes. When the tides are calm, the sounds are gentle and soft - much like the sound of someone blowing the top of an empty bottle! When the tides shift and the waves become more powerful, a much livelier song is played.

One of the best ways to enjoy this installation is finding a step to sit on and listening to the changing songs throughout the day as Zadar plays its very own symphony for you.

That would be so annoying. The sound of the actual ocean sounds 1000 times better.

As someone who loves the peaceful sound of waves crashing ashore, I find this sea organ to be very annoying.
