About Šibenik

Šibenik is a Dalmatian port on the Adriatic, with a stone Renaissance cathedral, a maze of old lanes and the Krka waterfalls close by.

Šibenik climbs a hillside above a deep, sheltered bay at the mouth of the Krka river. Its centrepiece is the Cathedral of St James, a UNESCO-listed Renaissance church built entirely of stone, with a vault of interlocking slabs and a frieze of carved faces around the apse. Narrow stepped lanes lead past small churches to the fortress of St Michael, and the town, first recorded in the eleventh century, is unusual among Dalmatian ports in not being a Greek or Roman foundation.
