Where is the Sea Organ located?
This unusual architectural object was created in 2005. This huge musical instrument is constructed in such a way that sea waves push air through the tubes of the object and thus create a kind of a harmonic "siren voice" which comes from underneath the marble steps of the quay. One could hardly believe it until he or she listens to this sea song.

Oddly, I have been there. It is a relatively simple yet very imaginative construction. People go there to just sit and, whether practiced in meditation or not, the sound invites one directly in to a very relaxing, meditative resonance with the sea, sun, and present company. A really beautiful old city as well with easy excursions out to the offshore islands. No-frills airlines such as Ryanair do cheap flights to Zadar from London and most major European cities.

Guessed the answer based on the architecture nearby.

I watch it in YouTube. It the same sound inside a cave when water enter such caves, they simple duplicate that natural phenomenon. Fantastic architecture.

I was enlarging the picture and the right answer popped up! That helps make up for the ones I didn't get credit for.

I thought Sea Organ was some type of organization dreamed up by Clive Cussler.

I'll have to ask my daughter who lives in Rabac in Croatia if she's heard of this. Her husband who is a Croat will almost certainly have heard of this.
