    The 1st 2 pictures are of the Cathedral of St. Anastasia. This Romanesque church dates to the 12th century, but there had been a church here since the 4th and 5th centuries. The 1st picture is of the facade and the 2nd is the nave.
    The 3rd picture is of the icon in the entry of the Church of Our Lady of Health. The icon dates to the 15th century and is associated with health and protection in Zadar ever since she was credited with stopping a fire that began in the nearby arsenal.
    The 4th and 5th pictures are in the deconsecrated Church of Saints Peter and Andrew. The building is now an exhibition gallery for local artisans. The 4th picture is Saint Andrew's which is the entry to the building and gallery. The small door in the rear leads to the Saint Peter the Elder portion which dates to the 5th century. There are some frescos still visible.
