In northern Dalmatia, there are three national parks, Paklenica, Krka and Kornati, and the main cities of this region are Zadar and Sibenik, very rich in historical sites and monuments.

    At first, a fortification founded near the fortress of St. Michael, which still dominates the town, Šibenik was first mentioned in 1066; and received the status of the city in 1290. Port is linked to the sea by the channel of the Sv. Ante, at whose entrance we can find magnificent Renaissance fortress of St. Nicholas, which, along with towers of St. Michael, St. Ivana and Subicevac represents a major historical landmark of the city.
