Walk with Filmmaker's video: Walking tour - Sibenik 4k Croatia - HDR

Šibenik is a historic city in Croatia, located in central Dalmatia, where the river Krka flows into the Adriatic Sea. Šibenik is a political, educational, transport, industrial and tourist center of Šibenik-Knin County, and is also the third-largest city in the Dalmatian region. There are multiple interpretations of how Šibenik was named. In his fifteenth century book De situ Illiriae et civitate Sibenici, Juraj Šižgorić describes the name and location of Šibenik. He attributes the name of the city to it being surrounded by a palisade made of šibe. Another interpretation is associated with the forest through the Latin toponym "Sibinicum", which covered a narrower microregion within Šibenik on and around the area of St. Michael's Fortress. Unlike other cities along the Adriatic coast, which were established by Greeks, Illyrians and Romans, Šibenik was founded by Croats. Excavations of the castle of St. Michael, have since proven that the place was inhabited long before the actual arrival of the Croats. It was mentioned for the first time under its present name in 1066 in a Charter of the Croatian King Petar Krešimir IV and, for a period of time, it was a seat of this Croatian King. For that reason, Šibenik is also called "Krešimirov grad" (Krešimir's city). Between the 11th and 12th centuries, Šibenik was tossed back and forth among Venice, Byzantium, and Hungary. It was conquered by the Republic of Venice in 1116, who held it until 1124, when they briefly lost it to the Byzantine Empire, and then held it again until 1133 when it was retaken by the Kingdom of Hungary. The city was given the status of a town in 1167 from Stephen III of Hungary. It received its own diocese in 1298. The central church in Šibenik, the Šibenik Cathedral of St James, is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Several successive architects built it completely in stone between 1431 and 1536, both in Gothic and in Renaissance style. The interlocking stone slabs of the cathedral's roof were damaged when the city was shelled by Yugoslav forces in 1991. The damage has since been repaired. In the city of Šibenik there are four fortresses, each of which has views of the city, sea and nearby islands. The fortresses are now tourist sightseeing destinations: St. Nicholas Fortress, St. Michael's Fortress, St. John Fortress, Barone Fortress. Roughly 18 kilometres (11 mi) north of the city is the Krka National Park, similar to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, known for its many waterfalls, flora, fauna, and historical and archaeological remains. Some of the most beautiful exteriors in HBO’s Game of Thrones are shot on locations in Croatia. In Game of Thrones, Šibenik is headquarter of the influential Iron Bank, and it depicts the ancient city of Braavos -a powerful coastal city and home of the Faceless Men. The scene that attracted a huge amount of attention by locals and the press was famous naked walk Cersei took in season six. That scene was mostly filmed in Šibenik, and it is also a place where young Arya Stark was traveling to find a shelter in her flight from Poniente at the end of Season 4. ========================= Welcome to AboutWalk Channel!
