Sibenik Historic City Walking Tour

Sibenik feels like a big village and I would love to show you this city through my eyes. So nope, I am not your umbrella-wielding guide. I've also realized that Dalmatia and especially Sibenik is not yet ready for mass tourism, therefore quite difficult to move around and to appreciate, even for some locals. A few things you discover include a Sibenik patron saint, theater where doctor Kovach (from ER) started his career, city title, four fortresses, the German name of one fortress, medieval «oil», the Orthodox church that was a catholic monastery that was a Templar knights house, the first mechanical public clock which was taken from Ottomans, fire, a really old church, wars, plague (not first hand hopefully), a small cemetery, perhaps an original funeral if you are lucky, a local oligarch who turned his house into monastery, bricking up corners on the streets, medieval toilet and air condition, Cathedral with tolling of bells from Vatican, Games of Thrones, form of punishment and quite a lot more. . .

- We will start our tour near the monuments dedicated to the Croatian King. We are going to visit the most important and attractive places in Sibenik, such as: - Cathedral of St. Jacob, which has been protected by UNESCO since 2000. - We will reach the main small cemetery on the top of the hill in the old part of the city, where about 100 thousand people were buried in a hundred years. - We will walk along the square where the great Plague epidemic began, from which 90% of the population of Sibenik died in 1649. - We will enter the main city cistern for water that supplied the townspeople drinking water for more than 4 centuries. - Imagine yourself in the city of Braavos from the Games of Thrones; visit the main street with brothels in the past, which were legal until the first half of the 20th century. - Look at the Pillar of Shame and find out why they people chained there and visit more places in Sibenik. Since this is a private tour, it can be customized to your interests.
