At the extreme tip of the Zadar peninsula there is another sight, not far from the world-famous Sea Organ. However, the same architect, Nikola Bašić, did not devote himself to the element of water in 2008, but to light. The Greeting to the Sun square is an eye-catcher during the day. The square with a diameter of 22 meters is modeled on an amphitheater and consists of 300 multilayer glass plates that are embedded in the ground and represent the sun. All around, at the correct distance and scale, there are eight more plates in the function of the planets. In the glass plates are solar cells and small, colored light sources that collect solar energy during the day to illuminate the promenade.

From the "Greeting to the Sun," you can enjoy impressive views of the Zadar Canal, the offshore islands, and the famous sunset.
The modern "Greeting to the Sun" structure consists of 200 multilayered glass panels that form a circle with a diameter of 22 meters. Solar energy is collected during the day and used in the surrounding area at night. In the immediate vicinity is the Zadar Sea Organ, another iconic installation that has made Zadar famous worldwide.
