More precisely, the city of Sibenik is located on the southwestern border of Croatia near the mouth of the Cherca river (in Croatian Krka). If you want to spend a holiday relaxing by the sea surrounded by crystal-clear waters, the Sibenik bay is ideal for this purpose with its over 200 islets and the charm of its white karst stone.
1 Cathedral of St. James of Sibenik
The beauties to admire in Sibenik are not only natural but also architectural. Of undeniable charm and unquestionable historical importance is the Cathedral of St. James (Katedrala sv. Jakova), awarded the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The construction work of the cathedral lasted just over a hundred years, starting in 1402 (although the plans were ready by 1298), with modifications made in 1431 and culminating in the official consecration in 1555. Local artists and craftsmen as well as Venetian ones worked on this Gothic-style building. An interesting (and perhaps somewhat impressive) feature of the Cathedral is the frieze decorated with as many as 71 human heads likely depicting some of the city’s residents.
Equally interesting is the Large Loggia located next to the Cathedral, built in the 16th century and completely restored in the second half of the 20th century following the destruction it suffered during the Second World War.
