Welcome to ‘Greetings to the Sun’

"Greetings to the Sun" in Zadar, Croatia, is an extraordinary installation that beautifully merges art, technology, and nature. Situated along the city's waterfront, this unique solar-powered light display is an absolute must-see. Created by architect Nikola Bašić, it consists of 300 multi-layered glass plates embedded into the pavement, forming a 22-meter diameter circle. During the day, the solar panels soak up sunlight, and at night, the accumulated energy transforms into a mesmerizing light show that dances in vibrant patterns, reflecting the rhythm of the waves and the energy of the sun. Visiting "Greetings to the Sun" at sunset is particularly magical, as the setting sun over the Adriatic Sea provides a stunning backdrop, enhancing the experience. The nearby Sea Organ, another of Bašić’s creations, complements the visual spectacle with its harmonious sounds generated by the movement of the sea. Together, these installations create an immersive and unforgettable experience that highlights the natural beauty and innovative spirit of Zadar. Whether you're a lover of contemporary art, a technology enthusiast, or simply seeking a unique experience, "Greetings to the Sun" is a testament to the creative integration of human ingenuity and natural splendor. #zadar #greetingstothesun #nikolabašić #croatia #artandtechnology #travel #adriaticsea #sunsetmagic 💞Reasons to Recommend: "Greetings to the Sun" in Zadar, Croatia, is highly recommended for several compelling reasons.
