Sibenik

Croatia

Šibenik is a historic port city on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, at the mouth of the Krka river. The oldest native Croatian city on the coast — founded by Croatian kings rather than Greeks or Romans — its crowning glory is a UNESCO cathedral. Attractions include the Cathedral of St. James — built entirely of stone with its famous frieze of heads — the old town's steep lanes, four fortresses including St. Nicholas at the sea entrance, and excursions to the waterfalls of Krka National Park and the Kornati islands.
