More about this tour
A walking tour where you will discover what it was like living in Zadar during the turbulent 20th century. World War I led to Italian occupation and years of fascist rule under Benito Mussolini. As a result, the city changed culturally, demographically and politically.
World War II was a disaster with 80% of Old Town destroyed by the Allied bombing. Rebuilding Zadar was a difficult task under communist rule and Tito. The fall of communism during the Croatian Homeland War marked the end of totalitarian regimes and brought peace to both Croatia and Zadar.
