Croatia’s Sea Organ
Most people enjoy the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Croatia took it one step further with their 230-foot sea organ or “morske orguulje” in Croatian. Located on the Adriatic Sea, in Zadar, the organ was built in 2005 by local architect, Nikola Basic. The organ is designed to look like stairs and has strategically placed holes for the water to enter and exit, creating an enchanting sound like no other.
The sea organ has made Zadar a popular place for locals to hang out, eat lunch, or watch the sunset. It has become another reason tourists are attracted to the area. So if you have the opportunity to hear the hypnotic notes played 24-hours a day by the sea, it is definitely worthwhile.
