Šibenik
Two UNESCO World Heritage sites anchor Šibenik's historic centre on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia: the Cathedral of St. James, considered the most significant architectural achievement of the 15th and 16th centuries in Croatia, and the Fortress of St. Nicholas. The old town sits where the river Krka meets the Adriatic, with a walkable centre dense with historic churches, cafés, and restaurants. Vineyards lie in the surrounding countryside, and the wider region offers mountain terrain and scenic viewpoints.
