Croatia's beaches are known throughout Europe for their clean water. In addition, this small country is known for its many parks, historical and architectural monuments.
One of the monuments is the Cathedral of St. James, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city of Sibenik, where this cathedral is located, is famous for the fact that it was founded by Slavs of local tribes, unlike other cities in Croatia, which were built mainly by the Romans or Greeks even before the Romans. Naturally, Roman architecture could not affect the architecture of the city as a whole.
At the end of the thirteenth century, the townspeople decide to build a Catholic cathedral. Construction began in one thousand four hundred and thirty-one and lasted for more than a hundred years. Initially, Italian craftsmen were invited to build it. Then they were replaced by the famous Croatian architect Dalmatinac, he significantly expanded the area occupied by the cathedral, added some additional elements, and the famous aerial dome was designed with him. But he also did not have time to finish the cathedral, his work was continued by another equally famous Croatian architect Fiorentinac. The result is a work of art that combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance and, in some places, realism with some shades of national flavor.
The material for the construction was brought from the nearest Croatian islands. The dome of the cathedral with windows under it rises high above the traditional tiled roofs of the old town. The Cathedral of St. James is a three-nave cathedral, the altar ends with 3 apses and a sacristy in the form of a rectangle. The altar with apses is encircled from the outside by a ribbon of sculptures that were sculpted in the image of the most famous citizens.
The northern part of the facade is decorated with images of St. James and St. Peter. It is noteworthy that only one stone was used for the construction of naves and apses, as well as roofs and domes, all other materials were excluded. The most significant part is the roof and dome of the cathedral. The ceiling of the main and additional naves is a semicircular vault, which is visible inside and outside. Under the dome itself there is an 8-carbon drum, into which 16 windows are built, the portal of the main facade is made in the form of a trefoil, it continues the structure of the entire building. The baptistery of the cathedral is very beautifully built, it is a small room.
The recognition of St. James Cathedral as an architectural monument played a certain negative role for local residents. Entrance to the cathedral, except for Sunday services, is paid.
