Sibenik Attractions

 
Sibenik has a recorded history dating back to the 11th Century, although the old town you see today was mostly built in the 15th and 16th Centuries. It is not often regarded as a tourist destination but is a pleasant city with several notable attractions, particularly the 16th Century Renaissance style Cathedral. Sibenik is also a good base for exploring the nearby parks of Krka National Park and Kornati National Park.

The 1990s Patriotic War had a serious impact on the prosperity of Sibenik. Since that time the city has been plagued with economic problems and extremely low employment levels.
