Our Lady of Health Church in Zadar

The Church of Our Lady of Health lies in the quieter northern part of Zadar’s peninsula, close to the waterfront and Sea Organ. The present building belongs to the city’s Baroque layer and suffered heavy damage during Second World War bombing before being restored. Its history is closely tied to Marian devotion and local votive traditions, giving the church significance beyond its architecture alone. For visitors it makes a useful short stop between the monumental old town and Zadar’s modern waterfront. This is not a large museum complex, so a visit is brief and will appeal most to travellers interested in sacred architecture and the city’s religious history.
