The Monument to the Sun, located on Zadar's Riva promenade, is a 22-meter-wide circle of solar panels that absorbs sunlight during the day and powers a stunning light show at night. The installation features hundreds of multilayered glass plates and LEDs that create ever-changing patterns and colors, synchronized with the nearby Sea Organ. Visitors can walk on the glass surface and watch the lights dance beneath their feet, making it a unique interactive experience that blends art, technology, and nature.
