Šibenik is one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic coast, founded in the 11th century as a Croatian royal fortress, unlike most Dalmatian cities which were built by the Greeks or Romans. The city is celebrated for its Cathedral of St. James, a masterpiece of Gothic-Renaissance architecture inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visiting Šibenik means discovering stone alleyways, two magnificent national parks in the immediate vicinity, and a Mediterranean atmosphere that captures the heart.

The Cathedral of St. James was built from 1431 to 1535, and its construction was carried out entirely in stone, featuring remarkable technical solutions in the vaults and dome. On the frieze of the outer walls of the apses, there are 71 sculpted faces of men, women, and children — portraits of the people of Šibenik from that era. It has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2000.

A beef risotto that is stirred for hours over a low flame, until the meat falls off the fibers and melds with the rice. Preparation takes from morning until dinner, so taverns announce it in advance. Served sprinkled with grated cheese, as a standalone dish.
