The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik

An airconditioned bus (very comfortable) took us from Split to Sibenik where we had some time to visit the Cathedral of St James. The cathedral was not only unique in the technical construction of it's dome, it also boasted a fascinating frieze decorated with 71 sculptured faces of men, women, and children. Each face was unique and showed different expressions and was said to show common people rather than religious figures or nobles. Quite remarkable.

Visited by Maria and Mattias, august 2008 (as well as by Ester and the Hägglund/Alfredsson-family).

Nice message about the great Cathedral - I was there also, in August 2008. I just uploaded this short slideshow/clip you may like to see.
