The Saints are: Zoilo, Simeon, Chrysogonus and Anastasia. Apparently, Zadar took four patron saints, as their protection was needed because the city was often attacked, being on the crossroads between eastern and western Europe. (It was demolished by crusaders in 1202, despite being a christian city; it was ravaged by the Huns, etc.)
