　　Housed in the 17th-century Rector’s Palace, this well-curated museum focuses on the city and its surrounds.

St John's Church
Šibenik-Knin Region
　　Dating from the end of the 15th century, this church is a fine example of Gothic-Renaissance architecture, but sadly the interior has mouldering paintwork and a rather unloved feel. It's officially closed to visitors, but you can peek in when the door is open. ...
