Vacation in Dalmatia

Cathedral Saint James (Sveti Jakov)

Sibenik is located on the Croatian Adriatic coast. This small picturesque village originated as a fisherman settlement, and so, has a quaint ancient aura about it. The town is located right at the mouth of the river Krka, and the combination of mountain, river and sea, offers some of the most beautiful, awe inspiring views for any traveler to behold.

If you find yourself traveling throughout Croatia, then you want to visit Sibenik and see its most important monument the Cathedral Sveti Jakov, which has now been declared a world heritage monument by UNESCO.
There are many other sights to see in Sibenik too. There is the Fortress of Subicevac, and the Sv. Mihovil, another fortress called St. Nicholas, which lies on the sea channel. These are all interesting architectural monuments from many centuries ago, and well worth walking through.
But aside from its monuments Sibenik is best know for its wonderful views. From the ancient town you have a fabulous view of the sea and the sloping mountain. There are many Venetian styled homes and lots of ancient churches to stroll by in the town itself.
The Cathedral and town square are well known throughout the country. It is said that the square and building in front of the Cathedral is one of the most reknown building in Croatia, because of its architectural beauty. If you are looking for that special weekend, a perfect getaway, then Sibenik is the place to go.
