Overview
Sibenik is the town where you will feel the soul of the Mediterranean, like in no other town.

The St. Jacob's Cathedral is the most famous building in Sibenik. It was constructed over a period of a century, and is testimony to the determination, sacrifice and belief of the generations of inhabitants of Sibenik.
