Fortress of Saint Mihovila
The fortress of St. Mihovila was built on a steep, stone hill, from which there is a magnificent view of the numerous islands of the Šibenik archipelago and the medieval town. Throughout its turbulent history, it served as the main point of the city's defense system. Under its walls, Šibenik developed, the oldest autochthonous Croatian town on the Adriatic, which was first mentioned on Christmas Day 1066 as the residence of the Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV. Most of the ramparts and towers of the fortress that are still preserved today date back to the late Middle Ages and early modern times. The fortress was renovated in 2014, when new content was added to it, a unique outdoor summer stage. Until recently, two 15th century cisterns were hidden inside the St. Michael's Fortress. Today, the walls of the cisterns provide a backdrop for the presentation of the rich history of the fortress and the city. With a demanding project, the most modern technical equipment necessary for projecting content onto the curved and roughly plastered cistern walls was installed in the cisterns. The image and sound backdrop consists of 34 projectors and 16 speakers covering 90% of the wall surface.
