Zadar has been inhabited for over 3,000 years. Formerly known as Iader, it was founded by the Romans as a colony in the 1st century BC, but archaeological finds reveal that the first settlement in the region dates back to the Palaeolithic era. For several centuries, Zadar was the capital of Dalmatia. Its strategic location on the Adriatic Sea made Zadar a prized location for foreign conquerors. It has been ruled by Venetians, Austrians and Napoleons, all of whom have left their mark on the city's history, and traces of this multi-culturalism can also be found across its cuisine, language and traditions.
