On the shoreline of Zadar, Croatia, a 230ft sea-organ uses the winds and waves and creates music. Hauntingly beautiful, harmonised notes reverberate from chambers within the structure using the natural power of wind and water passing through strategically placed holes and pipes.
Listen below.
Designed by Croatian architect Nikola Basic, the sea-organ, or ‘’morske orgulje’’ in Croatian, opened to the public in 2005 and the site has become a favourite spot for locals and visitors to relax and enjoy the fresh air and of course, the music.
Zadar was virtually destroyed during WWII and unfortunately rebuilt with rather unsightly, harsh concrete structures, including a long concrete shoreline.
Nikola Basic’s creation certainly changed all that, turning the shoreline into a serene place where people actually want to gather and enjoy.
