Sažetak
The paper will indicate the crucial transformations in the image of Dalmatian town of Zadar during the Early Modern Period of sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, within the context of the definite process of the diminishing and the final closure of its independent communal functions and transformation of the town into a military/administrative seat of the province that found itself on the border of two worlds. It is epitomized not only in its newly formed rings of exceptional fortifications, but also in a number of other urban architectural interventions, particularly on several ecclesiastical and public buildings of particular interest. After they have been defined and contextualized, those elements of transformation will be seen in the frame of Zadar genius loci, drawn out of the continuity of its forms and contents from the period of antiquity until that particular period, following the imprints of town's communal identity. These were mostly reflected in the areas and the ambiances related to its patrons and their respective roles played in the complicated games of Venice and Zadar, strategies of rivalry and competition, rivalry of earlier centuries and subsequent submission, followed by the final annulment of civic pride and the castration of its symbols. Finally, paper will conclude with the reference to some activities of late Cinquecento local humanist elite, that may be recognized as the final attempt to express the communal self-awareness grounded on the recognition of identity patterns related to the urban continuity from glory of antiquity and early Middle Ages to the troubled sixteenth century.
