The silhouette of the city is characterised by the Gothic Renaissance Cathedral St. James, built in 1434 and lying just underneath the fortress walls of the old area of Sibenik. At the end of 2000, the cathedral and the old city nucleus were designated UNESCO World Heritage sites. The cathedral and nearby renaissance town hall, other churches, palaces and the Prince’s Palace, presently housing the County Museum, make up a beautiful town square of Croatian urban heritage.
National Park Kornati is the largest and densest archipelago in the Adriatic Sea. A network of countless islands and islets, the nature and sea – makes the Kornati Islands an attractive destination. “On the last day of the Creation God desired to crown his work, and thus created the Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and breath.”- wrote George Bernard Shaw.
Sibenik is the only town in Croatia with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The newsest addition is the Fortress of St. Nicholas, built in the mid 16th century and located at the entrance to the St Anthony Channel, one of the strongest fortification objects on the Dalmatian Coast.
Sibenik and Knin County is a region located on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, with a rich history and culture protected by natural limestone rocks and mountain hinterland. It has over 300 islands, islets, cliffs and reefs in its waters and is home to many national parks, medieval fortifications, cultural monuments, and archaeological sites. The fortified town of Sibenik, founded in the 9th century, is the oldest native Croatian city on the Adriatic and is located at the mouth of the Krka River. The region has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and dry winters, and is known for its Dalmatian cuisine, including the famous red wine Babic and smoked ham of Drnis.
