"Renaissance Five Wells Square in Zadar, a must-see landmark, is surrounded by historical structures that highlight its strategic importance. Enclosed by the western Medieval city wall and the Captain's Tower, which rises 26 meters, the square is also bordered on the east by a supporting wall that leads to Queen Jelena Madije Park. Built in 1574 during the Ottoman siege, the square was designed to replace a defensive moat with a large cistern featuring five ornate wellheads. The cistern was part of a system that included an aqueduct bringing water from Vrana Lake. Following the end of the siege, a protective wall was added, enhancing the square’s historical significance and making it a quintessential photo spot for visitors. "
