The town of Šibenik is a town of culture, special for its stone streets and squares, hundreds of stone stairs, numerous little churches found in the old part of the town and the cathedral of Šibenik as its biggest and most recognizable symbol.
As Croatian Castrum/castle city/under the fortress of St. Michael (until today it dominates over the city) Šibenik is mentioned for the first time in 1066 in the document of the ruler of the Croatian state - king Petar Krešimir IV. Šibenik gets the status of a city 1298, when the Šibenik diocese was established.
Šibenik lies almost in the middle of the Croatian Adriatic Coast, in the picturesque and indented bay around the mouth of the river Krka, one of the most beautiful karsts rivers in Croatia. Today Sibenik is the administrative, political, economic, social and cultural centre of a county which stretches along the 100 kilometre long belt between the Riviera of Zadar and Split, reaching up to 45 kilometres deep into the hinterland.
