The Greeting to the Sun

This was a go to at night. During the day the solar panels charge and at night the lights come on. The lights will respond on the nearby sea organ. This is fun to watch. It like a dance floor coming to life at night. The area is nice as well. A view over the sea and shoreline. Good spot for seeing the sun go down. We spend some short time here before going on.

Must visit in Zadar old town. We visited twice, once during the day to enjoy the sea organ and again on an evening for sunset. The evening time was much busier with a lot of people crowded particularly around the 'sun' at the end. However there is plenty of room along the sea front to enjoy unobstructed views of the sun setting. The lights installation is very interesting as they represent the sun and planets. Even more fabulous at night when it lights up and together with the sounds from the sea organ, the place is magical!

An attraction worth visiting, especially if you are a photography enthusiast. Created by architect Nikola Bašić, the "Greeting to the Sun" symbolizes human communication with nature. This structure consists of over 300 glass solar panels that absorb solar energy during the day and then create, from sunset to sunrise, a spectacular and captivating play of light that attracts a multitude of people. Visiting it from late afternoon onwards, you can witness a unique, unrepeatable sunset. Definitely one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

Beatiful tourist attraction, I recommend to visit it after sundown to fully enjoy the light show. The Greeting to the Sun (Pozdrav Suncu) is another innovative installation by architect Nikola Bašić, located near the Sea Organ on Zadar’s waterfront. It is a circular structure made of glass panels embedded with solar cells, spanning 22 meters in diameter. The installation symbolizes the connection between nature, technology, and the universe. During the day, the solar cells absorb sunlight, converting it into energy. At night, the stored energy powers a mesmerizing light show of vibrant, colorful patterns on the surface of the circle. The display is synchronized with the rhythm of the Sea Organ’s music, creating an immersive sensory experience. The installation also represents the solar system, with smaller circles around the main one symbolizing planets and their relative distances from the Sun. The Greeting to the Sun is a celebration of light and nature, making it a beloved landmark and a perfect companion to the Sea Organ in Zadar.

Beautiful view. Must visit at sunset. If you are lucky with weather - can be a lifetime sunsets. Better be here 20-30 minutes before sunset to find a place in the first row ;) grab a wine and cheese for romantic sunset with a loved one.

The solar-powered installation captures sunlight during the day and transforms it into a captivating light display at night, representing the movement of celestial bodies. While it may not be as striking as some of Zadar’s other attractions, it's a pleasant spot to visit, especially at sunset when the colors of the sky and the lights come together in a subtle, calming way. A nice stop for those interested in the blend of technology and nature."

The Sea Organ is so stunning. Zadar is indeed the most romantic city in Croatia.
