The Cathedral of St James in Sibenik is a superb example of Gothic-Renaissance architecture, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000. The building was begun 1431 and later supervised by Dalmatian master-builder Juraj Dalmatinac, in the Gothic Flamboyant style. Of particular note is his exterior frieze of 71 sculpted life-sized heads, each unique. From 1473 construction was under Nikola Firentinac in Tuscan Renaissance style, completed in 1536. The western facade has a Gothic portal framed by carved saints and surmounted by two rose windows. The Lions' Portal in the north facade features carvings of Adam and Eve and the apostles Peter and Paul, with bronze reliefs of scenes from the Old Testament. The interior is as magnificent as the exterior: the three-aisled nave has a double row of columns with Gothic capitals and arches, with a decorative frieze above and an outstanding gallery balustrade. High above the nave rose windows in an intricate shell and floral design are superb. The main alter is richly decorated and lit from a half-domed apse. Side altars are Baroque dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The baptistery under the south apse contains exquisitely carved ceiling and font supported by three angels by Dalmatinac in the Gothic-Renaissance style. Brochures in several language describe the many artworks and architectural features inside the church. The cathedral is open from 9.30am-6.30pm, with an entry fee of 20 kuna (children free).

Got local bus from Vodice, approx 15 minutes. Walked along the beautiful harbour/quayside, packed with restaurants and then ventured into the historic winding stone alleyways and houses as we climbed the steeped walk to the fortress. Cafe at top and took in the magnificent views. Steeped on history and well worth a visit.

The unforgettable view from this fortress is simply spectacular. If it’s a hot day you’ll probably get a little tired of coming to Fort Barone but it’s definitely worth it.
