I love UNESCO sites. Saint James has not been a stranger to me for the last 12 years either, so when planning a trip to Croatia, I stopped by Sibenik.
Quote from the UNESCO website: "The Cathedral of St. James in Sibenik, built in 1431-1535 on the coast of Dalmatia, demonstrates the close relationship that existed in the field of monumental art between Northern Italy, Dalmatia and Tuscany in the 15th-16th centuries. Three architects Francesco di Giacomo, Juraj the Dalmatian and Nikola the Florentine, who succeeded each other in the construction of the cathedral, erected the building entirely of stone, using a unique construction technique in the construction of the vaults and dome.The form and decorative elements of the cathedral, such as the remarkable frieze with 71 sculptures of male faces , women and children, also illustrate the successful fusion of the Gothic style with the art of the Renaissance."
There is another element of the World Heritage in Sibenik, the Venetian Fortress of St. Nicholas, but, unfortunately, I did not have time to get there, I only looked through the telescope.
