Sea Organ
Midway along the south side of the Riva, the much-loved Sea Organ was designed by local architect Nikola Bašić and installed in 2005. Made up of 35 pipes with underwater whistles set inside smooth white-stone steps, it creates constantly changing sounds depending on the movement of the sea, which in turn is influenced by the waves, the tide, the wind, and passing ships. During any season and at practically any time of day, you are guaranteed to find people sitting on the steps, or on the benches nearby, listening to the haunting humming and moaning produced by the organ in union with the forces of nature.
