"The area proposed for inscription in the World Heritage List is
located in the centre of the historic nucleus of the town of Zadar and
comprises the Roman forum with the remains of a temple, the Episcopal
complex with the cathedral of St. Anastasia, the archbishop’s palace,
the church of St. Donatus and the Zmajevic seminary, the orthodox church
of St. Elias, the Benedictine nunnery with the church of St. Mary and
the Permanent Exhibition of Religious Art, and the Archaeological
Museum. The area of the complex is 3 hectares, and it is surrounded by
the protected historic nucleus of the town of Zadar, which is also the
buffer zone. In the second half of the first century B.C. the Liburnian
settlement of Zadar became a Roman colony, and developed in accordance
with the town planning scheme typical of the Roman tradition used in the
design of military camps (castra)...." -http://whc.unesco.org
