Sibenik / St. Jakov's Cathedral

The door on the left was most likely ruined during the war and has yet to be fixed. Too many things to repair and too little money. Since tourism is a major source of wealth for the nation, the lack thereof during and after the war have had a harsh impact on the economy.



This is especially true for Sibenik - one of Dalmatia's coastal towns and home to Saint Jakov's Cathedral (second photo). St. Jakov's is said to be the world's largest church built entirely of stone. It was named a world heritage sight by UNESCO in 2000. One of the cathedral's many particularities is the frieze of 74 heads outside, which are believed to be Sibenik citizens.
