Its dimensions are not overwhelming, there are more imposing churches, and yet it occupies a prominent place in the history of art: Šibenik Cathedral. A simple building of exceptional sophistication, which not only impresses with the beauty of its stone carvings, its harmonious form and its balance, but also wrote architectural history with its type of construction and is now a World Heritage Site. As Šibenik was founded relatively late and could not boast a 1000-year-old cultural tradition like other towns on the Dalmatian coast, the nobility and citizens wanted to draw attention to themselves and their town with a magnificent building - the construction of a new cathedral. Much about this church was and is new and unique.

The walls and the barrel vault of the roof construction, like the dome, are made entirely from one material: prefabricated stone blocks that are assembled and mortised together like Lego bricks. At the turn of the century from Gothic to Renaissance, St. Jacob's Church exemplifies a zeitgeist that no longer exaggerates the church space in mystical aspirations for the afterlife but instead designs it according to human dimensions.

UNESCO has been protecting the world's most valuable natural and cultural monuments as the "Heritage of Humanity" since 1972. The television series “Treasures of the World” tells of these places in impressive images.
