St. Nicholas Fortress played an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the scenes its mighty walls have witnessed.

When you've finished at this history-filled fortress in Sibenik, why not make your way to Cathedral of St. James, Vodice Harbor, and St Michael's Fortress? They're not very far from St. Nicholas Fortress and also a favorite with many travelers.
