Doors 207 – Croatia doors (part 3)
This week, I return to doors of Croatia, after a week of absence skiing in the French Alps (I thought I’d just slip that in). These doors are from the magnificent city of Zadar, at one time an immensely important trading port in the Adriatic, and its former affluence is very impressive indeed. I would thoroughly recommend it as a place to see if you choose to visit Croatia. So, no more flim flam, here are the doors:
The Land Gate, as it is known, is an impressive entrance to the old city, which has very thick fortified walls. You will note the strong Venetian influence with the lion of Saint Mark over the archway.
I am enjoying reliving our family holiday to Croatia in August 2022 through these pictures. Next up, I will take you to the city of Pula on the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

These are wonderful, Steve. I love that narrow door. It seems odd that they would make it that tall, but I guess they had a reason. The entrances to the areas of town are magnificent.

The thin door was on the rear of a church I think.

Ahh, Zadar, marvellous. Look at this light. And you went all the way up to Pula! Not so far from Piran and Slovenia…

I loved Pula, it felt like a part of Italy, and I could understand and join in a little with conversations.

It is a beautiful country, and the people are lovely, once you break through that rather stern exterior.

Impressive doors! That skinny one is really interesting and makes up in height what it lacks in width. A door for NBA players. 🙂 Glad you enjoy your wonderful vacation!! ❤
