This is a perfect tour for first-timers in Šibenik. The city with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Head on a journey through thousand years of Šibenik's history, starting with the mighty Croatian kings, followed by prosperity under the rule of the Venice Republic, a century-long Austrian rule, and then the turbulent 20th century, full of conflicts and destruction. Meanwhile, pass all the main sights but also hidden places known to locals only.
Follow your guide and admire the famous St. James Cathedral. An architectural gem built by the famous Juraj Dalmatinac. Take your time to explore the grandiose exterior covered with sculptures and ornaments. Enter the Cathedral to see the interior and learn about the unusual way the building was constructed, purely out of stone.
Just next to the Cathedral is the Large Loggia, the seat of administration set in the central square. The Rector's Palace once was the center of power and today it's an important museum. While walking the stone streets, listen to stories of medieval life, legends and facts, noblemen and the common folk, merchants and soldiers, people and events that made Šibenik what it is today: a pearl of the Adriatic in which past times echo through narrow streets.
