Summary

Mortier: Plan of Zadar

Panoramic map and fortification plan of the city of Zadar, the largest and most important Venetian fortress on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. The square walls and ramparts of the city of Zadar, without the houses and buildings, are located on the peninsula. Special walls and ramparts separate it from the mainland. The Zadar fortifications of the Venetian period represent a classic example of a fortification system. The port of Zadar is beautifully decorated with sailing ships (Venetian ships). Roads towards the interior are marked. From Zadar they lead towards Biograd (Chemin de Zara Vecchio), towards Zemunik (Chemin de Zemonico), towards Nadin (Chemin de Nadin). Forested hills are drawn. The title of the map and basic information are located inside its bottom edge. A linear scale and a compass cross were drawn within the fortified city.
