ST. SIMEON'S CHURCH (SV. ŠIME)
This place of worship, dating from the th century, has a baroque façade. Dedicated to Saint Etienne, the church preserves the relics of Simeon, a saint very revered by the inhabitants of Zadar. The golden silver sarcophagus, 1,90 m long, where its fragrant body rests, is embedded in the altar, carved by Francesco da Sesto at the end of the th century. Beautifully decorated with the scenes of the life of the saint, this masterpiece masterpiece is one of the treasures of the city. If the trunk is visible all the time, during the church's openings, the body of the saint, on the other hand, is presented only on the day of the Saint Simeon (8 October), for the Assumption and for some other annual religious festivals.
