Abstract

Campanile of the cathedral in Zadar has been being built in two periods, which are very distant in time and style. lts base and the first floor were built in the time of Zadar's archbishop Valaresso, and are dated between 1452 — 1480, representing the first achievement of the early renaissance in this town. According to the historical origins and literature, completion of the campanile was planned not before the end of the 19th cantury. The realization of this work was achieved in 1894 according to the project of the English architect T. G. Jackson, and by the care of Zadar's archbishop Maupas. For that occasion Jackson made several projects. They showed different conceptions. The first was a freely combination of various historical elements forming an authentic expression of the late ninetheenth century, and the last one represented — let us call it — »ideal romanesque campanile«, which was suggested
by the Ministry for the conservation of the monuments in Wien, whose restoration ideas were strictly archeological. There is one more interesting name connected with the rebuilding of this campanile, as well as with our art history in general — it is architect Č. Iveković. He did the first conservation of the campanile already, in 1900, because of some errors that had been made during the realisation of the Jackson's
project.
