Subjects : The cathedral of San Giacomo: a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the construction of the cathedral began in 1431 on a pre-existing building. Its construction was entrusted to Giorgio Orsini. Made of stones from the islands of Brač, Korčula, Rab and Krk, it was finished in 1536 by Niccolò Fiorentino.Around the cathedral, outside the apses, runs a frieze carved with realistic heads depicting 71 precise inhabitants who lived in the city at the time of the construction of the church. Inside there is a remarkable baptismal font supported by three angels designed by Giorgio Orsini and made by Andrea Alessi.The narrow streets of the city and its buildings seem to have remained in the 1400s, with an architecture that well represents the Renaissance style in vogue at that time in the possessions of the Republic of Venice.

Recommended equipment : Bring a versatile lens, because you'll need to switch between wide-angle and telephoto to photograph the beautiful squares, narrow streets and details of buildings. I also recommend a fixed for street photography, with the focal length most congenial to you between 28, 35 and 50mm, because the lights and shadows you create from the sunlight that sneaks between the ancient buildings creates many photographic opportunities.

Best months : All year round, except in summer, when it is attacked by cruise tourists. The climate is mild, so I imagine you can visit it safely even in winter.

How to get there : By plane you can easily get to Split airport and from there by car taking the coast road

Visits : St. James' Cathedral: for a feeSanctuary of St. NicholasBishop's Palace in ŠibenikFortress of St. Michael: for a feeFrom Šibenik, visits to the Kornati Islands Park can also be arranged
