Itinerary description
|
It is located at an altitude of 23 m asl, 343 km from the national capital, Zagreb. It is located next to the mouth of the Krka river on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. It is the political, educational, transport, industrial and tourist center of the Šibenik-Knin County.
In Sibenik there are 2 national parks: Krka and Kornati.
Šibenik is mentioned for the first time under this name in 1066 in a letter from the Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV. Unlike other Dalmatic cities founded by the Illyrians, Greeks and Romans, Šibenik is the oldest city founded by native Dalmatians on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. Šibenik obtained the title of city and its own diocese in 1298. The excavations carried out in the castle of San Miguel (on the top of the hill where the city is installed), show that this place was already inhabited long before the arrival of the dalmatians.
The city, like the rest of Dalmatia, resisted the Venetians until 1412. The Ottomans tried unsuccessfully to take the city at the end of the 15th century. In the 16th century the fortress of San Nicolás was built. During the 17th century the fortifications of the city were improved with the construction of the fortresses of San Juan (Tanaja) and Šubicevac (Barone).
The fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797 left Šibenik under the control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After World War I it became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During World War II it was occupied by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. After World War II, it became part of the Federal Democratic Republic of Yugoslavia until the independence of Croatia in 1991. On September 16 of that year, Šibenik was heavily attacked by land, sea and air forces by the Yugoslav army forces. as part of the offensive launched to prevent the independence of Croatia. The Šibenik theater, built in 1870 and which was the largest and one of the most beautiful in the country, was completely destroyed by the impact of a grenade. Later restored, the official reopening took place in 2001.
