Zadar - Cathedral of Anastasia

 
Zadar's Cathedral of Anastasia is a unique blend of architectural periods. The Cathedral was built in the 9th Century by the Byzantines but later rebuilt during the 12th and 13th Centuries in Romanesque style. Since then it has undergone a number of alterations. The Cathedral's façade has three entrances and a number of blind arches. There are two rose windows, the top window is Gothic, the lower window is Romanesque.
