St. James Cathedral

The city's most famous landmark is the magnificent St. James Cathedral, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built entirely from stone without the use of traditional binding materials, it is considered one of the greatest achievements of Renaissance architecture in Europe.

One of its most remarkable features is the collection of beautifully carved stone heads decorating the exterior walls, each representing real people from the period when the cathedral was constructed.

Whether you are passionate about history, architecture or photography, St. James Cathedral is an essential stop during your visit to Šibenik.

St. Michael's Fortress

Standing proudly above the Old Town, St. Michael's Fortress offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views in Dalmatia.

Originally built as a defensive stronghold, the fortress now serves as one of Croatia's most impressive open-air concert venues, hosting numerous cultural events and performances throughout the year.
