The Zadar city ramparts in length of three kilometers raised in the 16th century by the Venetian republic for defense of the Turks are part of the defense system that borders the Zadar Peninsula. "Since July 6, we are waiting for the day when we come to the agenda. Considering that 30 nominations were considered, and this was a lengthy procedure and discussion, we expected that this could only be today. The discussion started at around 11.30, there were no objections from either side, and all the speakers supported the nomination.

This is a fantastic thing for Sibenik, a delegation from Croatia is very pleased. St. Nicholas has an invaluable value, and we are awaiting a serious work on Valorization of St. Ante and the laying of the fort of St. Nicholas in a tourist function, "said Sibenik-Knin county priest Pauk.
