At first glance, this marble coast looks little more than simple, man-made steps. However, these steps called the ‘Sea Organ,’ which were created by Nikola Bašić, are anything but simple.
After the coast of Zadar in Croatia was destroyed by heavy bombing during WWII, the natural landscape fell into neglect until Bašić started work to bring life back to the coastline.
Waves and wind enter the man-made spaces at different strengths, and get pushed through a series of 35 polyethylene tubes that connects to a whistle. Each whistle is tunes to play seven chords of five different tones.
The musical jetty was completed in 2005, and is more than 230 feet long.
Experts from a variety of fields, like engineers, craftsmen, and a professor of music who tuned the pipes, came together to create this magical sea organ.
Watch the video below to hear the incredible music coming from this sea organ.
