One of the oldest native Croatian cities on the Adriatic, Šibenik is best known for the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James — a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture built entirely of stone between 1431 and 1555, without brick or mortar. The compact medieval old town climbs steeply from the harbour to three hilltop fortresses offering panoramic views over the Šibenik channel and the Kornati archipelago. Šibenik is the gateway to Krka National Park (20 min) and the Kornati Islands, and one of Croatia's four main cruise ports. The International Children's Festival, held each July, is one of Europe's longest-running performing arts festivals for children.
