2. MARASCHINO
•The Royal pearl of the Maraska Inc. production crown is, without a
doubt, Maraschino - the original and noble liqueur originating
from Zadar. At the beginning of the 16th Century, the pharmacists of
the Zadar's Dominican monastery, devised their own recipe and
produced their very first herbal liqueur naming it rosolj (lat. Ros
solis). In subsequent liqueur production attempts the original recipe
was gradually changed and perfected.
•The stem and leaves from young and tender branches of the
maraska tree were added into the distilling process in addition to the
initial juicy maraska cherry fruits pulp. So the liqueur was given
another name Maraschino, the aromatic drink of unusual harmony
that was, for a long time, considered to be a medicinal potion.

3. ANTIQUE GLASS – HAND MADE
 The museum is one of the city's newest attractions and
rightfully so. It's housed in the 19th century Cosmacendi
Palace and has some outstanding views that overlook the
Jazine harbour.
 The museum contains one of the premium collections of
Roman glassware outside Italy, with a cornucopia of goblets,
jars and vials retrieved from archaeological sites across
Dalmatia.
 Highlights include the delicate vessels used by Roman ladies
to store perfumes, skin creams and essential oils. Also look
out for glass cups used to celebrate Mass, and dainty flasks in
which holy water was stored.

5. ST. DONAT’S CHURCH – IN GLASS
AND OTHER MATERIALS…
 The symbol of the city of Zadar and the most
famous monumental edifice in Croatia from the
early Middle Ages (9th c.). Round pre-
Romanesque church which was called the
Church of the Holy Trinity until the 15th c., and
from that time on carries the name of Saint
Donat, by the bishop who had it built.
 The church was mentioned for the first time in
mid 10th c. in the documents of the Byzantine
emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos.
Today its space is used, due to its extraordinary
acoustic features, for musical performances
("Musical Evenings in Saint Donat").

6. BARKAJOLI – ZADAR’S BRAND
 For over 800 years they have been connecting the two
ends of the port with their small rowboats in any weather
conditions, and in so doing have saved the time of their
faithful passengers. This tradition has been passed on
from father to son for centuries and has survived despite
the challenges of modern times.
 Therefore, they most certainly deserve to be
represented by souvenirs!

7. SILVER SHRINE OF ST. SIMEON, A PATRON
OF ZADAR
 The chest of St. Simeon stands at the main altar of the Church
of St. Simeon in Zadar, and is the most valuable work of
medieval goldsmithing art in Croatia.
 It contains the preserved remains of St. Simeon, the beloved
patron saint of the city, while scenes of important historical
events and the appearance of Zadar and its residents during
the Middle Ages have been eternalized on the chest.

8. REPLICAS FROM THE ARCHEOLOGICAL MUSEUM IN
ZADAR
 The workshop for restoration and souvenir production began to be
developed in 1963, with the arrival of Božidar Vilhar, the conservator
of the Archaeological Museum in Zadar, who greatly advanced the
workshop with the installation of an electric kiln for firing pottery, and
introduced rubber moulds for making plaster casts.
 Today, along with the other conservation workshops, the workshop
for restoration and souvenir production is located in the complex of
the former monastery of St. Nicholas.
 According to the needs of the museum, the workshop carries out
protection of archaeological material, along with the cleaning, gluing
and restoration of pottery objects. In addition to the restoration of
artifacts, the museum also produces souvenirs and replicas that are
mostly copies of archaeological material. The workshop possesses
almost a hundred varied objects in the form of copies and souvenirs
made of pottery and artificial stone.
