The Krešimir Ćosić Hall (Croatian: Dvorana Krešimir Ćosić) is a multi-purpose indoor sports arena located in Zadar, Croatia. The arena is home to the basketball club KK Zadar, and also hosts concerts, conventions, and other sporting, business and entertainment events.
From October 2008, its official name became Krešimir Ćosić Hall, named after the legendary Croatian basketball player Krešimir Ćosić.[2] Former name of the arena was Sportski centar Višnjik. The arena's nickname is "Peka", which is a traditional Dalmatian cookware that resembles a bell-like dome. For several months during 2008, it was the largest indoor arena in Croatia, and now it is the third largest.
Events
The arena was used as one of the venues during the 2009 World Men's Handball Championship. Also, the Croatia Davis Cup team has played at the arena for the 2008 Davis Cup World Group Play-offs and the 2016 Davis Cup World Group semifinals.
