Šibenik, the oldest autochthonous town in the Adriatic, is located in its naturally most protected bay, at the estuary of the Krka river. It was created initially as a castrum, a fortification or a campus, beneath the St. Michael’s Fortress that still dominates the town. Sibenik´s master piece, the cathedral Sv Jakov, and the town nucleus were included in 2000 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today, with the population of around 52000, Šibenik is the principal town of the county, constituting its cultural, educational, administrative and economic centre.
