The Sea Organ in Zadar is a unique and fascinating attraction that should not be missed during a visit to this Croatian coastal town. Located on the western end of Zadar's Riva promenade, the Sea Organ is a musical instrument that is played by the sea itself. The Sea Organ is a series of 35 pipes of different lengths and diameters, installed beneath a set of marble steps leading down to the Adriatic Sea. As the waves come into contact with the pipes, they create a harmonic sound that is both eerie and beautiful. The sound is amplified by the empty space beneath the steps, which acts as a resonator.
