Zadar: The Outdoor Museum is created by light

Many tourists and international media have recently discovered Zadar as a must-see destination and its tourist reputation will surely be enhanced by the plans for its new functional and decorative illumination. Professionals from Philips who have been entrusted with the task of illuminating this Dalmatian city will find a special challenge in historical and architectural eras intermingled in the same area, so they offered the client a unique concept of an outdoor museum.

Their idea is to mark buildings from the respective eras with different lights, so that the lights could clearly show the historical period of a building. In addition to the functional effects, this would provide visual effects that would certainly contribute to the attractiveness of this historical city and provide additional marketing and tourist effects.

The conceptual design for the illumination also includes public areas, squares and parks that will become closer, more accessible and more attractive. Zadar has a history of almost three millennia, its traces making it particularly interesting.

The Church of St. Donat, dating back to the early Middle Ages (9th century, is the main symbol of the city. In addition to many other valuable historical buildings, monuments and interesting events, the visitors are attracted by two contemporary artistic attractions: the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun. They connect natural phenomena and human artistic activity, thus becoming inevitable tourist spots in Zadar.
