The nautical heritage of SibenikThe Sibenik County has always had strong links with the sea. Along the county’s coastline are many examples of towns that have developed due to the benefits of the sea. Of course it was also necessary to defend yourself from seaborne attacks.

2 sibenik times saturdayaugust 1st 2009.

Welcome to our beautiful city and to the seventeenth edition of the second season of “The Sibenik Times”. I won-der how many people that travel to foreign shores learn to speak the ba-sics of the local language before trav-elling. I know I do, even if it’s just ‘hello’ or ‘thank you’ I like to learn a few basic words just to help me on my travels – this has helped me a few times. Even if what you are attempting to say might come out completely wrong and al-most certainly with a horrible accent the simple fact that you are trying will be meet with sympathetic ears. On a personal level I can remember the fun-ny stories that my wife and her group of friends made in London whilst they were living there. There was the com-mon one of walking into a pub and asking for “two bears please” instead of two beers. Another friend has just made herself something to eat when her boss walked into the room. Seeing him enter she wanted to be respectful and ask him if he wanted to join her. Instead she rather comically asked “would you enjoy me?” My wife also made some classically humorous mis-takes. One of the funniest was actu-ally on her first trip over Dubrovnik to London. As she was travelling to Eng-land for the first time she had packed several traditional presents, includ-ing a bag full of rogać. While waiting she feel into conversation with a UN solider travelling home to Canada and when he saw the “unusual fruit” she was carrying he wanted to taste it. With every bite he took he liked the fruit more and more and asked to try another. Whilst eating the second one my wife realised that if he ate too many he might have problems going to the toilet and desperately tried to explain this to him. She ended up saying to him that if he ate too many “your shit not go down!” Needless to say the Canadian laughed so much his blue helmet fell off. Of course making mistakes in a language is not unique to English and I myself have made and still make some great ones, and will probably make many more even funnier ones in the years to come. At the end of the day you learn from mis-takes. It was the American writer El-bert Hubbard who said “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.”

ECCLESTONE BACK IN CROATIA

WITH A BRUNETTE

CROATIAN KUNA ‘AMONG FASTEST-GROWING CURRENCIES’

CROATIA HOSTED 242,000 TOURISTS OVER THE WEEKEND

POLICE APPEAL TO DRIVERS

TO COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS

A 20 MILLIONTH PASSENGER ARRIVED WITH CROATIA AIRLINES

Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has retur-ned to Croatia on holiday after his divorce from his wife Slavica, who is of Croatian descent. The Croatian daily Jutarnji List has reported he arri-ved accompanied by a good-looking brunette. The newspaper said Ecclestone had commented he had come to Croatia with car-racing business partners. The two were spotted in the southern town of Trogir, which Ecclestone had regularly visited with his former wife. The Formula 1 bo-ss was reportedly spotted buying roses at a local market. He arrived in Trogir aboard the 60-me-tres-long yacht Petara, named after his daughters Petra and Tamara.

Croatia hosted 242,000 tourists this weekend, around 7,000 more than during the last weekend in July 2008. According to the Ministry of Interior, there were 986,000 foreign and 256,000 domestic tourists in a total of 454,000 vehicles over the weekend. At the same time, 1,144,000 million tourists left Croatia over the weekend. The num-ber of vehicles and passengers crossing into and out of Croatia was the highest for a weekend this year. There were 88,000 passengers and 15,000 vehicles more than on the previous weekend. As usual, the most traffic occurred on Saturday when 474,000 passengers and 167,000 vehicles entered Croatia. On Sunday, 411,000 passengers arri-ved in Croatia, on Friday 357,000.

The Croatian kuna is one of the faster growing currencies there are, according to new research. In a list devised by the Post Office, Croatia came seventh, recording growth of 11 per cent, from January to June of this year. As of June 2009, it had recorded growth of 19 per cent and was ranked at number ten. Croatia was said to be the only Eastern European country who-se currency was not struggling. The figures were part of the Post Office’s research into trends in currency purchasing, indicating

that for those going on holiday Croatia is an increasingly desirable destination. Head of travel Sarah Munro commented: “Confidence seems to be returning to the holiday market and our currency sales in recent weeks indicate that UK tourists are responding to the great-value deals availa-ble for overseas travel.” Top of the currency growing list for June was the South African rand with a 176 per cent increase. At the current time (July 21st), one British pound is worth around 8.5 Croatian kuna.

Croatia Airlines had its 20 millionth passenger last Friday. Lucky Boris Jakopovic arrived on a flight from Amsterdam to Zagreb and was welcomed by Croatia Airli-nes’ representatives at the airport. The young student received a gift of two return tickets and hotel accommodations in the international destination of his choice. Croatia Airlines head Ivan Misetic said the company had transported 11.14 million passengers on regular international flights, 6.71 million passengers on domestic flights and 2.14 million passengers on special flights in the past 18 years.

The police have asked drivers to obey traffic re-gulations in the wake of recent accidents on the Za-greb-Split motorway. The police have asked drivers not to park and turn around or back up on the mo-torway. The Ministry of the Interior has said fines for violations or traffic regulations will range from 300 kunas (41 Euros) – 2,000 kunas (274 Euros). Two people died, and two were severely injured in an accident on 22 June caused by wrong-way driving on the motorway.

SEA WATER QUALITY - ANOTHER REASON FOR CROATIA

MORE JAPANESE CHOOSING

CROATIA TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

More Japanese people embarked on a Croatia travel trip last year than they did in 2007, it has been reported. According to the Croatian Times, there was a 66 per cent increase in the number of Japanese tourists heading to Croatian accommodation in 2008. So-me 144,000 people from the eastern nation decided that a holiday Croatia style is what they were looking for.

This news comes in the week that airlines across Europe have either launched or announced their intention to launch more fli-ghts to Croatia. Earlier this week, easyJet started up a Liverpool to Dubrovnik route - the first link-up between Croatia and the north-west English city.

Moreover, at the start of July travellers will be able to reach Cro-atian villas and other accommodation from Madrid because Spain’s national airline Iberia will be running flights from the Spanish ca-pital city to Zagreb.

For those looking to take a summer holiday, Croatia has always offered a number of attractions. Now, the country’s Ministry of En-vironmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction have revealed that the sea water along the nation’s Adriatic coastline is of excellent quality. Reporting the findings, the Black Sea Association of National News Agencies said that bathing conditions are deemed “good” at 16 of the beaches along the coast and “satisfactory” at ni-ne. All testing was conducted during the course of May and it will offer encouragement to Europeans planning a vacation Croatia style in the coming months. Other reasons for choosing a Croatia travel experience above other European destinations include the fact that it is home to the beautiful city of Dubrovnik and thousands of islands in the Dalmatia region. Holidaymakers looking for culture, a hot climate or fantastic scenery are likely to find Croatia meets their requirements.


Primošten is certainly one the most beautiful places on the Adriatic coastline. It gets its name from the peninsular on which it is situated and whi-ch until the 16th century was detached from the mainland. In 1542, in the days when the Turkish were conquering the area, the local inhabitants bu-ilt a movable bridge together with towers and fortifications so they could defend them-selves from enemies. When the Turkish retreated and the threat of invasion ceased the bridge was destroyed and in its place an embankment was constructed which is still in place today. Today a network of narrow side streets criss-cro-ss the peninsular with typical Dalmatian walls, buildings and architecture. The town’s skyline is dominated by the church St.

Jurja, whose foundations were laid in 1760. Inside this beau-tiful church are kept precious paintings such as The Virgin Mary (which has a solid silver frame) and St. Maria with St. Luke (painted in 1719) as well as a graveyard with a specta-cular panorama. This, howe-ver, isn’t the oldest church in the area. This honour goes to St. Jere which was constructed in 1460 and is located in Široke near to Primošten. Due to the location and climate, Primošten has been recognised as a tourist destination for a long time. In fact tourist development goes back at least fifty years. The symbol of tourism in the area is the hotel complex Primošten, which despite being damaged in the Homeland War and lo-sing some of its capacity, has kept its image and has been

renovated in the last few years. Primošten also has a strong hi-story with wine production and olive growing and with these roots has developed “rural” to-urism recently in the surroun-ding countryside. Apart from the already established produc-tion of domestic smoked ham (pršut) and cheese, the area is also now famous for the deve-lopment of ecologically frien-dly foods including chick peas, lentils, beans and of course the unmistakeable olive oils. The most well known product of this area is almost certainly the red wine “Babić”, which is produced from grapes grown in the Bucavac region. These vineyards have the official sta-tus of a monument to “peoples work” and a painting depicting them hangs from a reception hall in the UN headquarters in

New York. In close proximity to Primošten lies the marina Kre-mik. The beauty of this marina is unique on the Adriatic Sea and it is certainly one of the safest and most well protected marinas in the region. It is de-fended from winds from all fo-ur points of the compass and is well used by mariners from all over the world, there are also an organised diving and sur-fing clubs. It is also possible to anchor yachts, with a draft up to 3.5 meters, close to the town of Primošten. But care must be taken because the port is open to winds from the south and west and good attention must be taken when mooring and anchoring. Apart from the rich gastronomic offer the town has to offer there are a number of other interesting activities for guests. For younger guests and

the “young at heart” a disco, “Aurora” is situated on the hill overlooking the town, which is in fact the largest in this part of the Adriatic. Two important events for the area are the tradi-tional “Primošten Festival” and the “Primošten delicacies” whi-ch are held in the first week of August. Also mention must be made of the art gallery “Sfere” as well as the ambient gallery “Kamene Sfere”. In Primošten there is also a ballet school, run by the famous ballet experts Ane Roje and Oskar Harmoš. There are also plans to turn the Orson Welles’s former villa into a museum. The world famous actor fell in love with the area so much that he planned to live here permanently; unfortuna-tely his premature death ended his dream of enjoying his Pri-mošten vision.

The military action “Storm” took place between the 4th and 7th of August 1995 and was the biggest and most significant operation of the Croatian army and a symbol of the Homeland War (1991-1995). Even though this large military operation didn’t liberate the whole coun-ty, Storm signaled the end of the war in Croatia. Liberating the area around the city of Bi-hać, Storm also played a key role in the liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The action changed the strategic relations in the whole region and the mi-litary forces of Croatia proved themselves as a powerful mili-tary power. The most important result of Storm was the defeat of the concept of Great Serbia on Croatian land as well as de-veloping conditions for the end of the war in Bosnia and Her-zegovina.

The Croatian army and poli-ce freed occupied areas under control of the Serbian forces. The whole of the legally for-med Croatian land was returned from being occupied apart from the eastern area of Slavonia.

Around 10,400 kilometers squa-red or 18,4% of the total surface area of the Republic of Croatia was liberated in the action.

The two opposing military parties in Storm were the Cro-atian army (HV) and the Ser-bian army Krajine (SVK). The Croatian army was also assisted by the 5th army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Yugoslavian army didn’t react to the Croa-tian attack, while the Republic of Serbia army only really got actively involved on the 7th of August when they attacked the Croatian army with airplanes in Kutina, Virovitica, Požega and Županja.

On the eve of operation Storm the military forces of Cro-atian composed of three forces: the Croatian Army, the Croatian Navy and the Croatian Air force. The largest force was the Croati-an army which was made up of six areas. Every area composed of one or two infantry guard de-ployments, a few brigades and regiments.

The Croatian police forces were also strong, as an infantry brigade, but without the charac-

teristic support that the army has. In total, in Storm, between 150,000 and 200,000 soldiers were involved on the Croatian side. The army also had 400 tanks and around 350 artillery weapons. The military power of the Serbian side was organized into six land divisions as well as the air force. In operation Storm 40,000 Serbian soldiers, 200 tanks and 250 artillery weapons were involved.

Operation Storm started at dawn on the 4th of August 1995 with a heavy bombardment by the Croatian artillery on Serbian positions over a 630 kilometer long front, which was the lar-gest in Europe since the end of World War II. In comparison, the front line in the Ardennes in 1994 was 110 kilometers long. The peace keeping forces of the UN who were situated on the front line (UNCRO) were infor-med in advance that the opera-tion would begin. The Croatian President Dr. Frano Tuđman publicly invited the Serbian Ar-my Krajine (SVK) to surrender and guaranteed them complete amnesty to Croatian law.

Operation “Storm”


We all know that Croatia is a country that has strong links with sports. In fact you could qu-ite easily say that Croatians are sports mad. However one sport that you wouldn’t in a million years associate with Croatia is cricket. Believe it or not there is a long history of cricket in Cro-atia and this year the country is celebrating 200 years of cricket. The heritage of the game go all the way back to the time when an English naval captain in the times of the Napoleonic Wars was stationed on the island of Vis and being a cricket lover or-dered his troops to build a cric-ket pitch.

Since those early beginnings Croatian cricket has slowly de-veloped and there are now three cricket clubs in the country, in Zagreb, on Vis and in Sibenik. This week I spoke to a member of the Croatian National Cricket Team, Mr. David Lambasa, who although born and breed in We-stern Australia has strong roots in Sibenik.

• How did you end up in Si-benik?

My parents are originally from Sibenik but I was born and breed in Fremantle, Western Au-stralia and in fact I lived most of my early adult life there. I have also lived in a number of diffe-rent places all over the world but it seems I have constantly ended up in Croatia at one time or another. Basically my plan is to live on a permanent basis in Sibenik, but the businesses I run in Australia means that I have to go back there now and then. But now you could say that home is

Sibenik. • What do you miss about Au-

stralia?I would have to say the first

thing that I miss is my family. On a lighter note I also miss things connected with the sea such as fishing and surfing.

• How often do you get back to Australia?

I need to get back at least on-ce a year and normally I go over the Christmas period. In that way I get to see my family and do the work I need to do there. Of course, due to the distance and the flights involved, I tend to go back for a month or even longer.

• How have you been accep-ted by the local community?

I have been welcomed with open arms. In fact my surname, Lambasa, is a popular local sur-name so I tend to fit in imme-diately. Don’t forget I’ve been coming to Croatia since I was a child, so I was accepted from an early age.

• How good is your Croatian? I speak pretty much fluent

Croatian; of course due to my accent they can tell that I’m not actually a local.

• What was a cultural shock for you when you came to live in Croatia?

To be honest it’s a completely different way of life than in Au-stralia. Croatia and Croatians have a very laid back way of li-fe. Here people work to live and not live to work. In Australia the life style tends to be a very much Western way, when I’m in Au-stralia I work twelve hours a day but here it’s a different story. to

tell you the truth I actually think that the Croatian life style is a much better way of living.

• You are a member of the Croatian National Cricket team.

Yes, that’s right I play for the national cricket team in Croatia. When you look at the national team as a whole there is probably a 50/50 breakdown of local players and ex-pats. It’s great that so many locally born players have got involved. The-re are three established cricket clubs in Croatia, one in Zagreb, one on the island of Vis and the third here in Sibenik.

The oldest is the one on the island of Vis and has a very interesting history. In 1809 an English admiral, William Hoste, was stationed on the island and was a keen cricket player and he ordered his troops to construct a cricket ground there. In fact it’s one of the oldest cricket grounds in Europe and has been recogni-sed by the MCC and by Lords. This year the MCC will travel to Vis and play a tournament to celebrate the bicentenary of cricket in Croatia. It is a great honour for us that the MCC and Lords to come here.

• How difficult has it been to raise interest for the sport in Sibenik?

As you probably know cric-ket is not a main stream sport in Croatia, however Croatians really do love their sports. In the last ten years Croatian cric-ket has risen from division six in Europe to division two. So over a relatively short period of time we’ve moved on in leaps and bo-

unds. Now we are in the same division as countries like Germa-ny and France. The plan in Sibe-nik is to set up a cricket ground so that the locals can become more involved. It’s not that easy to find coastal land that is sui-table for a cricket pitch so we’re having a battle at the moment. We are trying hard to work with the local population to find an area that we would use not only for cricket but for all sports. At the same time it would be nice to offer the local children a piece of grass where they could play as there is a great deficit of grass areas. At the moment we play all our matches in Split. The three clubs in Croatia play each other on a regular basis and have their own league. The club from Za-greb is pretty much made up of all local players; whilst on the island of Vis there are a couple of excellent English players. The recent 20 – 20 world cup in En-gland was shown on Eurosport 2 and had great interest here, apparently the TV ratings were great in Croatia.

• What are your plans for the future?

I’m here to stay, so my plans are to settle down in Sibenik. I’m single and unmarried so maybe that could be one plan for the future. Cricket will of course be a large part of my life here. I lo-ve Croatia and I love cricket so the fact that I have been able to combine the two is ideal. Playing for the national team is a great honour. I’m also motivated to get more children involved in the game here at grass roots level.

Summer is a great time to have fun outdoors. It’s also a time to take precautions to avoid sunburns, which can increase your risk of skin cancer. Skin cancer is one of the most common form of cancer. Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays appears to be the most important environmental factor involved with developing skin can-cer. During the summer months, UV radiation tends to be greater. It’s always wise to choose more than one way to cover up when you’re in the sun. Use sunscreen and put on a shirt.

Seek shade and grab your sunglasses. Wear a hat, but rub on sunscreen too. Combining these sun protective actions helps protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays. UV rays reach you on cloudy and hazy days, as well as bright and sunny days. UV rays will also reflect off any surface like water, cement, sand, and snow. Addi-tionally, UV rays from artificial sources of light, like tan-ning beds, cause skin cancer and should be avoided. Most forms of skin cancer can be cured. However, the best way to avoid skin cancer is to protect your skin from the sun.

Protect yourself from the sun


The cuisine of Sibenik and the islands follows the trend of modern nutritional cooking. The brief thermal preparation of fo-odstuffs (mainly boiling or gri-lling) and plenty of fish, olive oil, vegetables and home-grown her-bs found near the sea is why this cuisine is considered to be very healthy. Meals along the Dalma-tian coast are heavily influenced by their Italian ancestry which is why the coastal resorts tend to fill up with Italians in summer. Often the meals begin with a nice plate of pasta; black risotto or spaghetti in squid ink sauce is especially popular. Dalmatian cuisine relies heavily on the fresh fish and seafood that are caught (or farmed) offshore. Look for sea bass, grouper, scorpion fish, pilchards, mackerel, squid and sea bream. Fish is usually grilled with local olive oil, garlic and le-mon. Regions with an abundance of fresh water are famous for the-ir frog, eel and river crab dishes. Meat isn't forgotten either. Thin slices of smoked Dalmatian ham (pršut) are often on the appetizer list. Lamb is popular either boiled

or baked. Dalmatian pasticada is a meat stew (beef stuffed with lard and roasted in wine and spices) often served with gno-cchi. One local delicacy is dishes baked under an iron bell this is a traditional method of cooking meat and vegetable dishes in a metal dome buried in glowing embers. If you plan on trying this style of cooking then restaurants will normally need up to 3 hours notice in advance to prepare the food, although it is well worth the wait. Connoisseurs of cheese must try all the different cheeses on offer. In the markets one finds a thick white cheese sold in little plastic sacks and usually eaten, as an accompaniment to a salad, with salt and pepper. Paski sir, a hard cheese from the isle of Pag, is an excellent cheese and one of the most reputed. Typi-cal Dalmatian desserts win the heart with their simplicity. The most usual ingredients include Mediterranean fruit, dried figs and raisins, almonds, honey, egg. Famous wines include Dingac and Postup then there are Posip and Grk, etc. And also Prosecco

(a sweet dessert wine), the very strong grape (loza) and herbal brandies (travarica, grapes with medicinal herbs) and liqueurs. The Croatian beers most frequ-ently drunk are Ozujsko beer and Kariovacko beer, both of which are excellent. Foreign beers tend to be more expensive, so unless you have a preference for a par-ticular foreign beer you’ll do no wrong choosing Croatian. The Sibenik County offers a wide ran-ge of places to dine. They range from rustic charm to silver ser-vice, catering for all manner of special occasions. The menus of restaurants in Sibenik are mainly based on local specialties. Altho-ugh recently a wider variety of cuisines has emerged. The wor-king hours of most restaurants are from 11.00 - 24.00, although it is normally never a problem if you wish to stay longer. The pri-ce includes taxes, but the service charge is almost never included and is not mandatory. It is a cu-stomary, however, that if you are satisfied with the service a 10% tip of the total amount is usually a fair tip.

THE SIBENIK BUTTON

The Sibenik – Knin County is full of interesting sights and sounds. Its history and tradition are rich, complicated and fascinating. Its nature and wildlife, in-cluding two national parks, are unique and breathtaking. Its cuisine and wine are world class. The connection to the sea

is unbreakable. And finally its people are friendly, ge-

nerous and warm. Every week we’ll bring you a few short fact files of different areas of life in the county so that you can better comprehend the culture that surrounds you.

When speaking about the 6000 year long existence of the Skradin area, historians en-dowed with wisdom search for the reasons of that continuity in its location and geo-stra-tegic position.

History always looks for great and sen-sible reasons. However, the truth is often much simpler since people and everyday life are smarter than history. Skradin is simply magical in its each and every detail. In the

loud morning silence that gets under your skin and the stentorian traditional folk klapa singing that touches your heart. In the peace and quiet of the Visovac monastery and the burst of water drops of the Skradinski Buk waterfall. In each moment of enjoyment of food which has skilfully managed to escape both fridges and freezers which would rob it of its natural aromas and has arrived tho-roughly fresh at your table.

The Sibenik Bridge is one of the most attractive spots in the world for free falling connected to a line of elastic, po-pularly known as bungee jumping. In the summer months a real crowd forms on the bridge, both of jumpers and specta-

tors. The brave among them throw them-selves off the bridge over the Krka river and fall 40 meters down before being ca-tapulted by the nylon cord back up again. Bungee jumping is open everyday during the season and costs around 220 Kunas.

The city of Sibenik is best known for its magnificent cathedral St. Jacob. The cathedral is constructed entirely of stone. Not only according to beauty, construction and the significance of its style is it the most important building in the city but it is also recognized by the more eminent world organizations.

On the 30th of November 200 the cathedral was added to the list of pro-tected cultural monuments of UNESCO. The idea to build such a cathedral be-gan in 1298 when Sibenik received the title of “city”. The construction started in 1431 and was finally completed in 1536.

Sibenik Rivera has a very indented coastline with numerous bays, ports, more than 240 islands, reefs and points including the national park of Kornati. The direct airline length of the coastline is 56.2 kilometers but in reality it is 806 kilometers long due to the amount of inlets, rivers, bays and coves. The largest island in the Sibenik County is Kornat which has a surface area of 32,525,315

meters squared. The inhabited islands include Kopara, Gola Glava, Krapanj, Zlarin, Prvić, Tribunj, Kaprije, Žirje and Murter. On the island of Visovcu on the river Krka live Franciscan monks. The island with the highest peak is Kornat with 237 meters, while the lowest inha-bited islands are Krapanj, seven meters above sea level and Tribunj only two meters above sea level.

The donkey is a symbol of Dalmatia. Without this noble, timid, stubborn and very hardworking animal life would ha-ve been very different in Dalmatia. Pe-ople wouldn’t have been able to move so much stone, harvest so many grapes, make roads and paths or build so many houses, villages or towns. Men brought water by donkey, climbed hills and mo-untains, for people the donkey was the

key to success and hope for the future. And more importantly the donkey beca-me man’s best friend and companion. In a sign of gratitude for this unique animal the towns of Tribunj and Primošten ha-ve both placed a statue to the donkey in the centre of the town. In Tribunj on the first Saturday in August is held the big-gest and most well known “race of the donkeys” along the coast of the Adriatic.

“DAYS OF JEZERA” 2009 - CULTURAL, ENTERTAINING AND SPORTS PERFORMANCES


Sibenik excels among all Croatian towns at the Adriatic coast by its unique location in a picturesque and large bay, at the mouth of the Krka. Created initially as a castrum, a fortifica-tion or a campus, beneath the St. Michael’s Fortress that still do-minates the town, Sibenik was mentioned for the first time in 1606, in a document issued by the most important of Croatian rulers - the king, Petar Krešimir IV. Šibenik obtained its status of a town in 1298, when the Dio-cese of Šibenik was established. A view of Sibenik reveals the unique harmony of urban po-etics of the town and its natu-ral surroundings. The harbor, connected with the open sea by the St. Anthony Strait, has been the initiator of development of sailing, trading and the overall economic prosperity of the town for centuries. At the entrance in-to the straight, there is the for-tress of St. Nicholas, the most important renaissance fortress at the eastern coast of the Adri-atic.The town is surrounded by the fortresses of St. Michael, St. John and Šubićevac that, toge-ther with the fortress of St. Ni-cholas, make the symbol of the centuries long no subjugation of Šibenik, confirmed in the recent Fatherland War. The St. Jacob’s, the cathedral of Šibenik, built for over a century, is a testimony of persistency, sacrifice and belief of the generations of inhabitants of Šibenik. By many things it is

unique not only in the Croatian architecture, but in the Europe-an as well: it is entirely built of stone, no other material being used; it is unique by the brave structure of stone slabs and ribs, with no binding material; it is also unique among renaissance churches by its trefoil front fa-cade; finally, it is unique by the harmony of its architecture and the row of 71 realistic sculptu-ral portraits around the apses. Documents preserved from the time of building of the cathedral evidence contributions from the entire community to its building, but from many individuals as well, including large number of domestic stone-dressers, bu-ilders and artisans. The most important among them is Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac, who came from Zadar and who the town of Šibenik commissioned in 1441 to take over the job of the proto-master of the cathedral of Šibenik.

The cathedral and the ne-arby renaissance town hall, other churches, palaces, and the Prince’s Palace presently housing the County Museum, make probably the most beauti-ful town square of the Croatian urban heritage. In the 15th, and the 16th century Šibenik was among the Croatia’s most impor-tant centers of humanism and renaissance. They're lived and worked writers Juraj Šižgorić, Antun and Faust Vrančić, Petar Divnić and Ivan Polikarp Severi-

tan, composers Ivan Šibenčanin, Julije Skjavetić and Ivan Luka-čić, historian Dinko Zavorović, painters Nikola Vladanov and Juraj Čulinović, printers Martin Kolunić - Rota, Horacije Forte-zza and Natal Bonifacij, and many sculptors and builders of the Juraj Matejev Dalmatian's circle. The scientist and visio-nary, lexicographer and writer, philosopher and teologist, Faust Vrancic, is the best known figu-re of the Croatian renaissance. The writer of the first Croatian dictionary, as well as the author of the famous book of inventi-ons, Machinae novae. Among many ideas, there outstands the drawing of homo volans, the flying man, the first printed picture of a parachute fly in the history. The 14th century church and monastery of St. Francis, the first Croatian national shrine of St. Nikola Tavelić, has been an important ecclesiastical and cultural center for centuries. In the monastery collection, there are over 150 incunabula and that many valuable manuscript codexes, including the famous Sibenska molitva , the first Cro-atian poetry text written in the Latinism script. In the church, there are organs made by well-known Croatian organ designer of the 18th century, Petar Nakić, preserved in the original form. The present vivid cultural life of Sibenik is evident in the tra-ditional International Children Festival of Šibenik.
