This oldest native Croatian city on the Adriatic lies in a well-protected natural harbour in the centre of the eastern Adriatic coast. Šibenik's narrow winding streets, stone houses, staircases, and remnants of the city walls create a romantic Mediterranean atmosphere as you explore its historic core on foot. The city's most famous landmark, St. Jacob's Cathedral, stands as a remarkable testimony to the determination, sacrifice, and belief of generations of Šibenik's inhabitants. Built entirely of stone, it is unique in both Croatian and European architecture for its bold construction, trefoil front facade, and harmonious design.
