 Tvrđava sv. Mihovila by croisbeauty
In its north-east part, the remnants of material culture from the Iron Age were found. It is quite certain that the Croats had erected their fort at the place where there was the "gradina" of old Illyrians. Leave a Comment

I have been unable to identify this church. I do not feel it is Sveti Frane (San Francesco) as, as far as I remember, it is a little up-hill to the old city. If I am not wrong, it stands between Ulica Ante Starcevica and ulica Stjepane Radica and on the different maps I have looked at, it has no name, which should mean it has no interest !.
However, if it is true that the bell tower has nothing special (first photo), it has a side entrance (second photo) with on top (enlarged on the third photo) a bearded man with the right arm raised (blessing the people ?) while in the left hand, it holds two huge keys. Leyle (VT The WanderingCamel), because of the keys, identifies him as Saint Peter. Thank you Leyle for your contribution!
The fourth photo shows in a niche a young man clad in a medieval garment, holding a (broken) spear in his right hand while he bears a stone with a Malta cross in his left hand. On the right, a snake is certainly trying some evil doing ! This is why it is here, isn't it ?
I suppose it is one of the following : St. John's church, St. Krsevan's church, St. Lovre's church and monastery, The New church, St Grgur's church, St Frane's monastery and church, St. Nikola's church, St. Dominic's church, The church of Uspanie Bogomatere, The church of Holy Ghost, St Barbara's church. But which one is it ? Leave a Comment

From the sea the view of the town is magnificent: to get to the harbor, vessels have to pass through the Sv. Ana channel (St. Anne), and by Fort Sv. Nikola (St. Nicholas), the work of the famous Italian Renaissance fortification builder Michele Sammichele. The town developed on hilly terrain, which is thoroughly packed with houses that have been huddled together since the town was first mentioned in 1066. Gradina, the oldest part of Sibenik, still exudes a mediaeval atmosphere. As the town expanded around Gradina, the building styles changed. Stylistic variation can also be seen on the most important building in Sibenik, the cathedral of Sv. Jakov (St. Jacob), which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It was built during the 15th century. The cathedral was the crowning achievement of Juraj Dalmatinac’s architectural work, a masterful synthesis of Gothic and Renaissance elements; Nikola Firentinac completed Juraj’s work on the cathedral. On the outer wall of the apse, the cathedral displays a remarkable frieze sequence of 74 human heads, probably representing the contemporary citizens of Sibenik. Unique construction techniques, involving grooved stone slabs, were used for the vault. The baptistery in the crypt under the south apse is perhaps the most impressive example of Juraj’s interpretation of different stylistic conventions. Leave a Comment

There are few old houses on some islands, though. If you have enough adventurous spirit in youself, it is possible to rent such a house and live for a week or two on your own island. Of course, no people - no stores, so you have to live on fish that you catch or food that you bring with you.
