This 230 Feet Long Organ In Croatia Uses The Sea To Create Interesting Music

It turns out we can use nature without exploiting it.

Amazing things can happen when people collaborate with natural elements without exploiting or devastating them. It can even create music, as the people in Croatia have demonstrated. They have created a 230-foot sea organ that harnesses the energy of the sea and wind, converting it into soothing music.

The "morske orgulje," as the locals call it, was designed by Nikola Bašić, an architect from Croatia, and officially opened in 2005. Wind and water enter through holes on the lower steps, and they are channeled through a series of resonating chambers. After that, they exit through the holes on the higher steps. The result is wonderful.

This part of the shore has become a popular spot for both locals and tourists. This sea organ is an excellent example of what a little imagination can achieve. The city of Zadar was completely destroyed in World War II, and the renewal project left it with many unattractive concrete buildings. One of these was a very long concrete shoreline. This is a significant improvement, and we hope it will inspire people in other cities with similar shorelines.
