Church of St. Donatus, Byzantine church in Zadar, Croatia.
The Church of St. Donatus features a circular design with three apses, rising to 27 meters in height near the Roman forum of Zadar.
Built during the 9th century on Roman forum remains, this structure incorporates stones and columns from ancient buildings into its foundation and walls.
The structure serves as a venue for the International Festival of Medieval Renaissance Music, taking advantage of the interior acoustics for performances.
