Postcard from Croatia!

Today I got a nice postcard from Croatia! The postcard features a nighttime view of St. Donatus' Church in Zadar. It is a pre-Romanesque church from the 9th century. The church was named after Donatus of Zadar, who started the construction of the church. Zadar is a historic city on the Adriatic Sea. It is the historical center of Dalmatia and covers an area of 25 square kilometres. The card has a special moon-shaped cut-out! Thanks Tomislav!

Today I got a beautiful postcard from Croatia! The postcard features a great view of Šibenik, a town in Dalmatia. The town is considered the political and tourist center of the surrounding country. It sits by the river Krka and the Adriatic Sea. It has population of about 46,000 people. On the card we can also see the historic Cathedral of St. James, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built over 100 years during the 15th and 16th centuries and is the most important Renaissance structure in the country. Thanks Tomislav!
