The county seat of Sibenik-Knin County, Šibenik plays a significant role in politics, economy, and culture. In a colorful and indented bay in the eastern Adriatic, it is situated almost at the center of the eastern Adriatic, where the Krka River, one of the most beautiful karst rivers in Croatia, flows into.

With the fortresses St. Nikola, St. Ivan, and Subicevac surrounding it, Sibenik is a harmonious combination of the old city center with narrow and steep streets, and modern architecture. Šibenik is mentioned for the first time in the charter of king Petar Krešimir IV, the reason why it is called Krešimir’s city.
