| The
most representative among them is the
famous Cathedral of Sibenik, one of the
most original architectural projects of
the late Middle Ages, primarily linked
to the local master Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac
(George of Dalmatia). Sibenik is today
a tourist centre situated in the area
where the best-indented archipelago in
Europe (Islands
of Kornati) and karst hydrographical
phenomena (Skradinski
Buk, Visovac, Roski Waterfall) merge
into the ecologically and aesthetically
most attractive tourist and recreational
zone on the Croatian Adriatic. The most
popular cultural events include the International
Child's Festival (last week in June and
first week in July), the Summer Organ
School (in the second half of August)
and the Sibenik Summer. The Day of St.
James (25th of July), the patron saint
of the city, is festively commemorated. |
