Why Sibenik matters
Sibenik is one of the Adriatic's quieter gems. It was founded by Croats rather than the Romans, and its centrepiece is a cathedral built entirely of stone, with no timber or brick. Behind it, stepped lanes climb to hilltop fortresses with wide views of the channel and islands. It is also the gateway to Krka National Park, so it pairs history with waterfalls.
Talking points
- The cathedral was built entirely from stone using an unusual construction method.
- Several fortresses guard the town and the channel to the sea.
- It is a gateway to Krka National Park and the nearby islands.
