Sea Organ
Morske orgulje
Waves push air through 35 pipes beneath the steps, producing natural sounds. It is Zadar's best-known urban installation, perfect for sitting on the steps to listen to the sea at sunset.
The Sea Organ was designed by architect Nikola Bašić and completed in 2005. Beneath the coastal steps at the western end of the old town, 35 pipes of varying lengths are set into the stone. As waves and tides push air through them, they produce chord-like sounds that never repeat. It is an award-winning piece of public space design, open around the clock and free. Sitting on the marble steps at sunset, then walking a few steps to see the night lights at the Greeting to the Sun, is a classic Zadar itinerary.
