Pet Bunara.

Located between the medieval city walls and the Queen Jelena Madijevka Park, Five Wells Square (Pet Bunara) is a stark architectural reminder of Zadar’s defensive past. Built by the Venetians in the 16th century to withstand Ottoman sieges, these five aligned stone wells provided access to a massive subterranean cistern. While the wells themselves are the focal point, the site sits atop a water management history stretching back to a 2nd-century Roman aqueduct. Today, the square serves as a paved transition zone between the historic core and the elevated greenery of the city's oldest park. It is a quiet, photogenic spot where the scale of Venetian engineering is on full display, offering a clear view of the Captain's Tower and a direct connection to the city’s fortified heritage.
