Sibenik
Sibenik is home to the crowning glory of the Dalmatian coast,
the Cathedral of St Jacob, which was the masterpiece of sculptor
Juraj Dalmatinac. It is reputedly the largest church in the world
to be built entirely from stone and is unusual for its 71 stone
heads on the exterior walls, a beautiful baptistery, the domed roof
complex and various works of art in the interior of the building.
The city also makes a good base from which to visit the nearby Krka
National Park.
Transport: There are regular trains and buses between Split and Sibenik, taking about two hours
