Old city hall
Formerly known as Plathei Communis, it was built from 1533-1536.
Cathedral of St. James or Cathedral of St. Jacob
This basilica is considered as one of the major attraction in the city. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Construction started in 1431, and it was not finished until 1536 due to Turkish wars. Several successive architects built it completely in stone in the 15th and 16th centuries, both in Gothic and in Renaissance style. The interlocking stone slabs of the Cathedral's roof were damaged when the city was shelled by Serbian forces in 1991. The damage has since been repaired. It has a beautiful baptistery worth seeing it, and the curiosity is it has been built with stone only, without any kind of binder. Another one is 72 human heads carved in stone on the external part which belong to unknown individuals, passers-by, sailors, merchants and peasants who posed as the cathedral was being built. Statues of Adam and Eve are also curious; Adam is covering his breasts, and Eve is covering not her breasts, but her stomach.
4 draw-wells
It is an underground complex of water reservoirs, built in the 15th century for city's water supply. Now it's a multimedia exhibition center Bunari - Tajne Šibenika ("Bunari - Secrets of Sibenik"). The reservoirs are now dry and decorated as a museum/gallery and a cafe. It has 7 sections: (Šibenik's treasure, food and drink, shipwrecks around Šibenik, persons from the past). Concerts and stand-up comedy shows often take place at the cafe. Very interesting spot.
