Šibenik

Šibenik is a historic coastal city in central Dalmatia known for its stone streets, medieval fortresses and a beautiful natural setting at the mouth of the Krka River. Unlike many other Dalmatian towns Šibenik was founded by Croatians which gives it a unique cultural identity reflected in its architecture, traditions and city layout. The Old Town is a maze of narrow passages, stairways and small squares lined with stone houses that create an intimate and authentic atmosphere. At its heart stands the Cathedral of St James, a UNESCO World Heritage Site admired for its detailed stonework and the impressive way it was built entirely from stone without wooden supports. The city is surrounded by powerful fortresses that rise above the rooftops and offer wide views of the sea and nearby islands. With its mix of history, natural beauty and lively coastal spirit Šibenik is a city that feels both timeless and welcoming.
