The Greeting to the Sun

A play of lights in the rhythm of the waves

After the world-known Sea Organ, Zadar has become wealthier with one more urban installation. On Istarska obala, at the very end of the Zadar peninsula, next to the famous Sea Organ, shines the Greeting to the Sun made by the same architect Nikola Bašić.
The Greeting to the sun consists of three hundred multi-layered plates placed at the same level as the stone-paved waterfront and in the shape of a 22-meter-diameter circle. Under the glass conduction plates are photo-voltage solar modules through which symbolic communication with nature is performed, with the aim of communicating with nature just like the Sea Organ, the latter with sound and the former with light.

Morske orgulje
A perfect orchestra of nature
The Sea Organ is situated near the new cruiser port, within the Zadar waterfront. This is a place where human ideas and skills are joined with the energy of the sea, waves, high and low tide, a place of relax, thinking and conversation accompanied by the continual concert of the mystical tones of the “Orchestra of Nature”.
