点评:From the Zadar Old Town we walked towards the best-known of the gates along the walls that protects Zadar.
The Land gate was once the main entrance to the city. Located by the Foša harbor with views of the water, it was built by the Venetian architect Michele Sanmicheli in 1543 and features a huge triumphal arch and two side arches, all decorated with images of Zadar’s patron saint, Chrysogonus. The winged lion of St. Mark hovering over the central arch is a clear reminder of Venice’s long rule over Zadar, as our Local Guide told us.
The magnificent Walls actually had several entrances but this the most impressive ones (also known as City Gate, or Kopnena vrata in Croatian). A Renaissance masterpiece that come in the form of a triumphal arch with a central passage and two smaller two arches for wheeled traffic and pedestrians. The monumental lion of St. Mark above it was thee coat of arms of the Venetian Republic.
Just an interesting point - the reverse side of the Wall is very plain.
翻译:我们从扎达尔老城出发,沿着保护扎达尔的城墙,朝最著名的城门走去。
陆门曾经是这座城市的主要入口。它位于福沙港,可以欣赏到水景,由威尼斯建筑师 Michele Sanmicheli 于 1543 年建造,拥有一个巨大的凯旋门和两个侧拱门,都装饰着扎达尔的守护神圣克里索戈努斯的画像。正如我们的当地导游告诉我们的那样,中央拱门上方盘旋的圣马可翼狮清楚地提醒着威尼斯对扎达尔的长期统治。
宏伟的城墙实际上有几个入口,但这个是最令人印象深刻的(也称为城门,克罗地亚语为 Kopnena vrata)。这是文艺复兴时期的杰作,以凯旋门的形式出现,中央有一条通道,还有两个较小的拱门,供轮式交通和行人通行。上方巨大的圣马可狮是威尼斯共和国的国徽。
有趣的是,长城的背面非常简单。
