Šibenik
A city surrounded by fortifications wins you at first sight. View from the city bridge on the oldest Croatian royal town of Šibenik is dominated by the Cathedral of St. Jakov, a unique attraction under the protection of UNESCO. It’s a marvelous example of gothic and renaissance building. It is not only special in style but also in a way of construction – large stone blocks were laid without roughcast which makes it one of a kind in Europe. Šibenik is the city with 24 churches, six monasteries, four fortresses, the attractive „Four Water-Wells“ not far from the Cathedral, 2851 stone City stairs, the largest number of Baroque organs, and the Medieval Monastery Garden of St.Lawrence – the only one of a kind in Croatia.
