Šibenik

As the oldest town founded by Croats, Šibenik has arisen on the Adriatic coast not far from the Krka estuary. The beauties of the landscape which surrounds it are paralleled by the cultural and historical sights, chief among which is the cathedral of Saint James, protected by UNESCO. Šibenik's other landmarks include the fortress of Saint Michael and the triangular fortification named after Saint Nicholas at the entrance to its harbor.No sightseeing trip to Šibenik is complete without a visit to the Plaza of the four fountains - once life-giving wellsprings, today used as a stage for concerts and festivals, it satisfies both visitors' and locals' thirst for melodies and rhythms.
