  • The Cathedral of St. James. Since 2000, the Cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The building of the church was initiated in 1402, though plans on its construction had already begun in 1298.  The actual work to transform the older Romanesque cathedral began in 1431. Built entirely of stone (limestone from a nearby stone quarry and marble from the island of Brač), it was completed in three phases, from 1433 to 1441, when the Grand City Council entrusted the work to local and Italian masters Francesco di Giacomo, Lorenzo Pincino, Pier Paolo Bussato, Andrija Budčić, Grubiš Šlafčić, Bonino da Milano, and Giorgio da Sebenico. width:800;;height:606

  • St. Michael's fortress was built on a 60m high limestone hill situated at the mouth of the river Krka. This is the place where the life of Sibenik began. The town of Sibenik was mentioned for the first time in 1066, in the documents signed by the Croatian King Petar Kresimir IV. The building of the present-day fortress lasted from the 13th to the 18th century but its biggest part belongs to the 15th and 16th century. width:800;;height:599
  • St. Michael's fortress  was damaged and rebuild several times. It was demolished twice, in 1663 and in 1752 by the explosion of the powder-magazines situated within its walls. There is a double defensive wall descending from the fortress to the coast and ending with the big Gothic gate. It was built at the beginning of the 15th century and, in danger, the soldiers used it to retreat towards the sea. width:1024;;height:204
