“In vino veritas”, or a rough English translation, one tells the truth under the
influence of wine or the shortened version “in wine, truth”. Croatians certainly
love their wines and they have good reason to do so. Many of the wines I have
tried here are of an excellent quality and definitely on a par with French and
Italian wines. Of course, there are some which I would rather forget about, but
all in all they are drinkable. A local once told me that Italians drink to be sociable,
French drink with food, Germans drink to be happy and English drink to throw
up. There is plenty of truth in this saying, but I also think you could add that
Croatians drink to music. It’s as though every eighth Croatian born is born with
a guitar in his hand. As soon as a few friends gather together for an “informal”
party somebody will pull out a guitar and then out comes a bottle of wine or two
and the singing starts. What could be better on a warm summer evening than
a guitar, group of friends and a bottle of red wine? Although most of the songs
seem to be repeated at every gathering they always sung with enthusiasm
and pride as if people have just learnt the words and are singing them for the
first time. There is an enormous cultural variation in the way people behave
when they drink. You can split Europe into three sections, the Mediterranean
wine drinking countries, the central European beer culture and the Northern
spirit drinkers. In England, amongst other countries, people seem to become
violent and act in an anti-social manner after they have had a few too many.
On the other hand in Croatia drinking alcohol normally leads to largely peaceful
and friendly behaviour. In fact the same can be said for most Mediterranean
countries and I have personally experienced the same harmonious behaviour
in Spain. Maybe one of the reasons for this is the slower and more laid back
lifestyle. Because of work commitments people in England don’t really drink
much during the week and wine with meals is not so common. Then the week
end comes and they explode, all of the pent up stress through the week is
relived with a visit to the pub beer will be the drink of choice. The aim being
is to drink as much as possible in the shortest time possible with the obvious
result being getting as drunk as possible. As a drinker was once famously said
“Beer, the cause of and solution to, all life’s problems.”

Riječ urednika
‘’In vino veritas’’ ili u doslovnom engleskom prijevodu, ‘’osoba će reći istinu pod
utjecajem vina’’ ili najkraće rečeno ‘’u vinu je istina’’. S punim pravom Hrvati
jako vole svoja vina jer mnoga vina koja sam ovdje probao su odlične kvalitete i
mogu ravnopravno parirati francuskim i talijanskim vinima. Naravno, postoje i

ona vina koja bih najradije zaboravio, ali sve u svemu mogu se piti. Jedan lokalac
mi je jednom prilikom lijepo objasnio da Talijani piju da bi se družili, Francuzi
vole piti uz jelo, Nijemci piju da bi bili sretni, a Englezi piju da bi povraćali.
Ima dosta istine u njegovim riječima, ali bih k tome još dodao da Hrvati piju 11:00 Atletska utrka odraslih
da bi svirali i pjevali. Kao da je svaki osmi Hrvat rođen s gitarom u ruci. Čim se 26.09.2008. Petak Mandalina-sportski centar

SIBENIK’S FORTIFICATIONS Šibenske utvrde
The starting point of the old
city walls was the Fortress of St.
Michael. In 1864 a part of the
wall that surrounded the city
from the north and the south
was removed. Today, only the
northern side of the wall by
Gorica remains, a part of the
wall through the park towards
the shore, a small section of
the wall near Poljana, as well
as remains of a bulwark from
the 17th century behind Hotel
Krka. The best preserved secti-
on is the double city wall whi-
ch slopes from the Fortress of
St. Michael towards the shore
(Kvartir) and ends with great
Gothic gate. The western wall
in Dolac with a city gate, which
slopes from the fortress to the
sea, was built in the 15th cen-
tury so that Dolac could be pro-
tected from Turkish attacks.
Ishodište starih gradskih bedema
bila je tvrđava sv. Mihovila. 1864.
godine je uklonjen dio zidina koje
su opasavale grad sa sjeverne i jugo-
istočne strane. Danas je ostao samo
dio bedema sa sjeverne strane na
Gorici, dio zidina kroz park prema
obali, mali dio zida pokraj Poljane,
te ostatci bastiona iz 17.st., iza ho-
tela “Krka”. Većim dijelom sačuvan je
dupli gradski bedem koji se spušta s
tvrđave sv. Mihovil niz strmu padinu
do obale (Kvartir) i završava velikim
gotičkim vratima. Zapadni dolački
bedem s gradskim vratima, koji se
sa tvrđave spušta do mora, izgrađen
je u 15.st. kako bi se Dolac zaštitio
od turskih napada.

THE FORTRESS OF
ST. MICHAEL
The Fortress of St. Michael is located at a height of 70m
above the sea behind the old city agglomeration. It was
built, in the period from the 15th to 17th century, out of
dressed white stone. Through archeological research, re-
mains of a culture from the prehistoric Iron Era have been
found, which proves that the fortress was built by Croats
in the place that was once know as the station of the old
Illyrians. There are two entrances to the fortress; one is lo-
cated at the wall towards the old cemetery and the other
on the north side.

TVRĐAVA SV. MIHOVIL

Tvrđava sv. Mihovil nalazi se na uzvisini 70m nad morem
iz nad stare gradske anglomeracije. Izgrađena je u razdo-
blju od XV.-XVII. stoljeća od bijelog tesanog kamena. Ar-
heološkim istraživanjima pronađeni su ostatci kulture iz
željeznog doba pretpovijesti, što dokazuje da su Hrvati
utvrdu podigli na mjestu nekadašnjeg gradinskog punkta
starih Ilira. Postoje dva ulaza u tvrđavu, jedan se nalazi na
zidu prema starom groblju, a drugi na sjevernoj strani.
THE FORTRESS OF
ST. JOHN
THE ŠUBIĆEVAC The Fortress of St. John is located on a hill 115m high on
the northern side of the historic city core. It was raised in

THE FORTRESS OF

The Fortress of St. Nicholas is located at the entrance to
the St. Anthony Channel and it was built in the midd-
le of the 16th century for defense from Turkish attacks
from the sea. It was built according to the designs of
the Venetian military builder Michiele Sammichella.
The Fortress of St. Nicholas (having a triangle shape) is
one of the strongest forts on our coast.

TVRĐAVA SV. NIKOLE

Tvrđava sv. Nikole nalazi se na ulazu u kanal Sv. Ante,

Around the county: SIBENIK

S
ibenik was menti-
oned for the first
time under its
present name in
1066 in a Charter of the
Croatian King Petar Kre-
šimir IV. For a period of
time, it was a seat of the
Croatian King. For that
reason, Sibenik is also
called “Krešimirov grad”
(Krešimir’s city). Sibenik is
the oldest native Croatian
town on the eastern sho-
res of the Adriatic. Sibenik
was given the status of a
town and its own dioce-
se in 1298. Excavations of
the castle of Saint Michael
have since proven that the
place was inhabited long
before the actual arrival
of the Croats. The city, like
the rest of Dalmatia, resi-
sted the Venetians up to
1412. The Ottoman Em-
pire started to threaten
Sibenik at the end of the
15th century, but they ne-
ver succeeded in conque-
ring it. In the 16th century,
the fortress of St. Nicholas
was built and, by the 17th
century, its fortifications
were improved again by
the fortresses of St. John
(Tanaja) and Šubićevac
(Barone). The fall of the
Venetian Republic in 1797
brought Sibenik under the
authority of the Habsburg
Monarchy. After World
War I, Šibenik became a
part of the Kingdom of
Yugoslavia, while during
World War II it was occu-
pied by Fascist Italy and
Nazi Germany. After WWII
it became a part of the SFR
Yugoslavia until Croatia
declared independence
in 1991. During the Croa-
tian War of Independence
(1991-1995), Sibenik was
heavily attacked by the Yu-
goslav National Army and
Serbian paramilitary tro-
ops. Although under-ar-
med, the nascent Croatian
army and the people of Si-
benik managed to defend
the city. The battle lasted
for six days (September
16-22) is often referred to
as the “September battle”.
The bombings damaged
numerous buildings and
monuments, including
the dome of the cathedral
and the 1870-built thea-
tre building. In an August
1995 military operation,
the Croatian army defe-
ated Serbian forces and
freed the occupied areas,
which created the basic
conditions for its post-
war recovery and allowed
the region to continue to
develop as the centre of
Sibenik-Knin county. Arc-
hitecturally, the damaged
parts of the city have been
fully reconstructed.

ulazi u sastav Habsburške
monarhije (uz kratkotraj-
nu vlast Francuske u vri-
jeme Napoleona) sve do
1918. Za vrijeme drugog
svjetskog rata Šibenčani
su velikom većinom bili
u partizanima. Puno Ši-
benčana je bilo prisiljeno
ići u partizane već 1941.,
a najviše ih se dragovolj-
no pridružilo 1943. na-
kon kapitulacije Italije.
Mnogo ih je poginulo na
bojišnicama diljem bivše
Jugoslavije, a najviše u
Hrvatskoj i BiH. Partizani
su Šibenik oslobodili 3.
studenog 1944. Kao i ci-
jela Hrvatska i Šibenik je
bio u sklopu Jugoslavije
od 1945. do 1991.g. Grad
Šibenik i okolica su dali
veliki doprinos u Domo-
vinskom ratu od prvih
dana rata 1991. Šibenčani
su već u rujnu 1991 g. za-
uzimanjem topništva na

znice obranili svoj grad i
okolicu i tako izborili prvu
pobjedu HV, kada su JNA
i četnici poraženi i odba-
čeni 15 kilometara dalje
od grada. Za obranu Šibe-
nika su najveći doprinos
dali dragovoljci-branitelji,
a mnogi su od njih dali i
svoj život.

INTERVIEW NEDA KLARIĆ
MAYORESS OF THE CITY OF SIBENIK
We’re proud on
Sibenik’s history
What does the day of
Sibenik mean to you?
The day of the city of Sibe-
nik, together with the day
of the patron saint of Sibe-
nik, St. Michael, means a lot
to me and the citizens of
Sibenik. On that day with
pride we celebrate his rich
and fraught history; on
that day we feel pride that
we are a part of the very
stone that makes up this
wonderful city. That day we
are also very proud that we
live in the oldest Croatian
city on the Adriatic and of
our first century St. Jacob
Cathedral which is listed
in the UNESCO protected
cultural monuments of the
world. We are also proud
that as long ago as 1895
Sibenik was only the third
city in Europe to have pu-
blic street lighting powered
by alternative electricity. We
are proud that were born so
many famous and impor-
tant people. Such as Antun
and Faust Vrančić, as well as
Ante Šupuka who was the
first elected town major,
then famous university pro-
fessor, doctor and botanical
expert Robert Visianija, Dra-
žen Petrović a basketball ge-
nius and a number of world
famous names in art, scien-
ce, politics and sport. We are
proud that we are a city of
heroes from the Homeland
War and we celebrate these
heroes and their heroics in
the month of September
when they fought a signifi-
cant battle in the Homeland
War. Finally we are proud of
the new economic take off
of the City of Sibenik, a city
which is developing busine-
ss and expanding tourism.
How will the city
celebrate their special
day?
The day of the city will be
celebrated with a number
of cultural and sporting
events. We have organized
events and competitions in
which representatives from
other cities will take part
as well as representatives
from Sibenik’s sister cities.
Children from pre-school
and from schools will create
both artistic and literal wor-
ks to show their love for the-
ir city. On this special day we
The Sibenik Times
We are proud that were born so many
famous and important people. Such as
Antun and Faust Vrančić, then famous
university professor, doctor and botanical
expert Robert Visiani, Dražen Petrović...
will hold an official sitting of
the Sibenik City Council at
which we will award indivi-
duals, institutions and other
organizations with a special
award and certificate. The
laying of wreathes and the
lightening of candles at the
central cross on the city’s
cemetery will honour all the
deceased Croatian defen-
ders as well as all citizens of
Sibenik who gave their life
for this city.
St. Michael is the patron
saint of Sibenik, how will
he be honored on the day
of the city?
St. Michael will be honou-
red with a traditional proce-
ssion in which will take part
a large number of Sibenik
citizens and representatives
of all the Sibenik dioceses.
A holy mass will be held by
the bishop of Sibenik mon-
signor Ante Ivas at which a
special celebration will be
held to honour the patron
saint of the city of Sibenik
and of the Sibenik diocese.
How have the
celebrations for the day
of the city changed over
the years?
Every year we want to str-
engthen and enrich the ce-
lebrations for the day of the
city. We want to get the yo-
unger inhabitants of Sibenik
to join in so as to teach them
from an early age the im-
portance of this day. It’s also
our aim to attract more and
more citizens of the city to
enter into the celebrations
as well as guests to Sibenik
and tourists because on this
day we can show them all
the beauty of the city. This
year we are especially cele-
brating these events in Si-
benik in September which
in fact we have called the
month of Sibenik’s history.
The first day of September
was marked with celebra-
tions for Faust Vrančić one
of the most important wri-
ters and constructors of the

16th and 17th centuries.
Cultural institutions in the
city of Sibenik, firstly the city
library joined in marking
this special project and pu-
blished an illustrated book
about Faust Vrančić. Also
special lectures were held
about the life of Faust and
an exhibition of innovatory
work was opened in Faust’s
honour. His grave in the
churchyard of Prvić- Luci
was honoured and a stone
foundation was laid for the
future monument park whi-
ch will carry his name. This
year, for the 17th time, we
are celebrating the Septem-
ber battle in the Homeland
War in which the city of Si-
benik was defended and so
stopped the dividing of the
Republic of Croatia which
was the enemy’s objective.
A large number of socie-
ties from the Homeland
War from Sibenik, Vodice
and Skradin joined in the
celebration and visited all
the places where Croatian
defenders fell. Various spor-
ting events were held as
well as concerts to mark the
Croatian September victory
in Sibenik. The Medieval
Fair in Sibenik was held for
the 4th year in connection
with St. Michael. The days of
this fair return Sibenik back
to the renaissance times.
The program of this fair of-
fers a unique opportunity
to see life, work and gastro-
nomy originating from a
time when Sibenik was the
largest city in Croatia. Spe-
cial attention is also given
to the significant traditional
Sibenik crafts and cultures
from that era. Numerous lo-
cal and visiting actors play
out scenes and stories from
that time in medieval Sibe-
nik. Vocal choirs and dance
groups dressed in traditio-
nal costumes fill the streets
as well as jongleurs, clowns,
archers and knights which
all make the atmosphere of
the fair and the city of Sibe-
nik a truly medieval one.

ske biskupije, sveti Mihovil,
nama Šibenčanima znači
mnogo. Toga dana s pono-
som slavimo njegovu bo-
gatu i bremenitu povijest,
slavimo i brojne Šibenčane
koji su pronijeli njegovo
ime; toga dana osjećamo
ponos što potičemo upra-
vo s ovog kamena kojim
je sazidan ovaj prekrasni
grad. Toga dana smo i po-
nosni što živimo u najsta-
rijem izvorno hrvatskom
gradu na Jadranu, što je
naša prvostolnica- kate-
drala sv. Jakova- na UNES-
COVom popisu zaštićene
svjetske baštine, što smo
još davne 1895. godine u
Šibeniku kao 3. europski
grad imali javnu rasvjetu
na izmjeničnu struju. Po-
nosni smo što je ovo grad
Antuna i Fausta Vrančića,
kao i grad prvog od naro-
da izabranog gradonačel-
nika Ante Šupuka, zatim
uglednog sveučilišnog
profesora liječnika i bota-
ničara Roberta Visianija, ali
i grad košarkaškog virtu-
oza Dražena Petrovića, te
brojnih uglednih imena iz
svijeta umjetnosti, znano-
sti, politike, sporta. Pono-
sni smo i što smo građani
grada Heroja domovinskog
rata, čije herojstvo slavimo
upravo u rujnu- mjesecu u
kojem je Šibenik izvojevao
značajnu bitku u domovin-
skom ratu. Ponosni smo i
na novi uzlet Grada Šibe-
nika, grada koji se okreće
turizmu i razvoju gospo-
darstva.
Kako će grad proslaviti
ovaj poseban dan?
Dan Grada se slavi brojnim
kulturnim i športskim do-
gađanjima; organiziraju se
i natjecanja u kojima su-
djeluju predstavnici drugih
gradova, kao i gradova pri-
jatelja grada Šibenika. Dje-
ca predškolskog i školskog
uzrasta potiču se da likov-
nim i literarnim radovima
izraze ljubav prema svome
gradu. Toga dana održava
se i svečana sjednica Grad-
skog vijeća Grada Šibenika
na kojoj se zaslužnim po-
jedincima, ustanovama,
Ponosni smo što je ovo grad Antuna i
Fausta Vrančića, kao i grad prvog od
naroda izabranog gradonačelnika Ante
Šupuka, zatim uglednog sveučilišnog
profesora liječnika i botaničara Roberta
Visianija, ali i grad košarkaškog virtuoza
Dražena Petrovića
privrednim subjektima do-
djeljuju nagrade i prizna-
nja. Polaganjem vijenaca
i paljenjem svijeća na sre-
dišnjem križu na gradskom
groblju odajemo počast
žrtvi hrvatskih branitelja,
ali svih Šibenčana koji su
dali život za svoj grad.
Sv. Mihovil je zaštitni
svetac grada Šibenika,
kako ćete njemu odati
počast na dan grada?
Već tradicionalnom pro-
cesijom, u kojoj sudjeluju
brojni građani, ali i pred-
stavnici svih župa šiben-
ske biskupije, kao i svetom
misom, koju na trgu ispred
katedrale predvodi biskup
šibenski msr Ante Ivas,
posebno se slavi zaštitnik
Grada Šibenika i šibenske
biskupije.
Kako se proslava
dana grada Šibenika
promijenila tokom
posljednjih godina?
Svake godine želimo osna-
žiti i obogatiti proslavu
dana grada; najmlađe
uzraste želimo već od ma-
lih nogu odgajati da vole
svoj grad, sve građane na-
stojimo privući da svojim
sudjelovanjem u proslavi
osjete značaj toga dana,
a želimo privući i goste
Šibenika i turiste kojima
tada možemo pokazati svu
ljepotu Krešimirova grada.
Ove godine smo posebno
proslavljali Šibenik doga-
đanjima u mjesecu rujnu,
kojeg smo i nazvali mjese-
com šibenske povijesti. Prvi
dani rujna bili su posvećeni
Faustu Vrančiću najzname-
nitijem piscu i konstrukto-
ru na prijelazu iz 16. u 17.
stoljeće; ustanove u kulturi
Grada Šibenika- priije sve-
ga gradska knjižnica Jurja

je Faustov grob u crkvi u
Prvić-Luci, gdje je položen
i kamen-temeljac za bu-

nositi ime Fausta Vranči-
ća. Ove godine po 17. put
slavimo rujanski ratni pod-
vig-obljetnicu velike bitke
u domovinskom ratu kada
je obranjen Šibenik i time
spriječeno cijepanje Hrvat-

THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JACOB

T
he St. Jacob’s, the cathedral of Šibenik,
built for over a century, is a testimony
of persistency, sacrifice and belief of
the generations of inhabitants of Šibenik.
By many things it is unique not only in the
Croatian architecture, but in the European
as well: it is entirely built of stone, no other
material being used; it is unique by the bra-
ve structure of stone slabs and ribs, with no
binding material; it is also unique among
renaissance churches by its trefoil front fa-
cade; finally, it is unique by the harmony of
its architecture and the row of 71 realistic
sculptural portraits around the apses.Docu-
ments preserved from the time of building
of the cathedral evidence contributions
from the entire community to its building,
but from many individuals as well, including
large number of domestic stone-dressers,
builders and artisans. The most important
among them is Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac,
who came from Zadar and who the town
of Šibenik commissioned in 1441 to take
over the job of the proto-master of the cat-
hedral of Šibenik. The cathedral and the ne-
arby renaissance town hall, other churches,
palaces, and the Prince’s Palace presently
housing the County Museum, make proba-
bly the most beautiful town square of the
Croatian urban heritage.

KATEDRALA SV. JAKOVA

Š
ibenska katedrala sv . Jakova , gra-
djena više od stotinu godina , svje-
dočanstvo je upornosti , odricanja i
vjere generacija Šibenčana. Izdvaja se po
mnogo čemu, ne samo u hrvatskom, već i
u europskom graditeljstvu: u cijelosti je iz-
gradjena od kamena, bez uporabe ikakvog
drugog materijala. Jedinstvena je po smio-
nim konstrukcijskim montažama kamenih
ploča i rebara, i to bez uporabe ikakvog
vezivnog materijala; takodjer jedinstvena
je među renesansnirn crkvama s pročeljem
u obliku trolista; naposljetku, jedinstvena je
po suglasju arhitekture i niza od 71 realistič-
nog portreta na apsidama. Dokumenti iz
razdoblja gradnje katedrale svjedoče o do-
prinosu cjelokupne komunalne zajednice u
njezinu podizanju , ali i mnogih pojedina-
ca , medju kojima je najveći broj domaćih
klesara , graditelja i zanatlija . Među njima
najznačajniji je Juraj Matvejev Dalmatinac,
podrijetlom Zadranin, s kojim Šibenčani
1441.godine sklapaju ugovor o njegovu
preuzimanju dužnosti protumajstora šiben-
ske stolne crkve. Katedrala, zajedno s rene-
sansnom gradskom vijećnicom te okolnim
crkvama, palačama i kneževim dvorom, u
kojem je danas smješten županijski muzej,
tvori zacijelo najljepši trg u hrvatskoj urba-
nističkoj baštini .

ŠIBENSKI GRB
Gotički portal palače Rossini ostao je 1896. godine bez
svoje lunete i prekrasnog grba. Tada je grb kupio bečki
kolekcionar barun Nataniele Rotschild. Taj je barun marno
otkupljivao umjetnine pa tako primjerice kupuje krajem
19. stoljeća dvije divne figure s jednog kamina u Veneci-
ji. Iako se šibenska općina usprotivila otkupu grba on je
ipak dozvoljen jer se to pravdalo kako grb neće napustiti
zemlju, a matična zemlja bila je tada Austro-ugarska mo-
narhija. Gledajući iz današnjeg ugla devastacija portala
palače i nestanak vrsnog grba može se smatrati jednim
od najvećih gubitaka šibenske baštine u kamenu. Luneta
portala u cjelosti je obnovljena pred ljeto 2003. godine
u okviru programa STANADI šibenskog konzervatorskog
odjela.

PATRON OF THE CITY
The city has been honoring St Michael since its
SAINT MICHAEL
very beginnings. The oldest sacral building in
it’s in its center was therefore devoted to this
heavenly guardian. Having in his assistance,
strength and protection, the residents of Sibe-
SVETI MIHOVIL
nik used his figure, symbolizing fearlessness
and victory, in their city seal and coat of arms.
This was their way of demonstrating the str-
ength of the municipality, which was to follow
their patron’s example and constantly win in
the battle for preservation of their rights. This
saint has been honored and celebrated all over
the diocese throughout the centuries. Chur-
ches in Murter, Raslina, Kijevo, Mitlo, Vršine by
Dubrava, Pokrovnik,Oklaj and Lišani were bu-
ilt in his honor. St Michael is the most popular
heavenly archangel. His name, translated from
Hebrew, means “He who is like God”. He has
been respected in the Western church since VI
century when, as legend has it, he appeared
on Monte Gargano in Apulia . He is celebrated
on 8 May and 29 September. For Sibenik it is
the latter date, also proclaimed the Day of the
City that is filled with festivities. The holiday
St Michael has been celebrated solemnly in
Sibenik throughout the centuries. Many im-
portant town events happened on the day of
the town’s patron. In a document dating back
to 1252, when the habitants of Sibenik reco-
gnize the jurisdiction of the Trogir bishopric, it
is mentioned that believers on the holiday of
St Michael brought bread, money, candles and
wine. A well known Sibenik poet, Juraj Šižgorić
ZAŠTITNIK GRADA
Grad Šibenik od najranijeg svog postanka ča-
sti Sv. Mihovila, pa je i najstariji sakralni objekt
sagrađen u jezgri grada, u tvrđavi, upravo bio
posvećen nebeskom zaštitniku. Vjerujući u
pomoć, snagu i zaštitu svetog arhanđela Ši-
benčani su njegov lik, koji simbolizira pobjedu
i neustrašivost, upotrijebili u svoj grb i pečat.
Time su oni upozoravali na borbenost i moć
gradske općine, koja će se po primjeru svog
zaštitnika boriti za očuvanje svojih prava i uvi-
jek pobjeđivati. I na području cijele Šibenske
biskupije slavio se i štovao kroz stoljeća Sv.
Mihovil. Njemu u čast podigle su se crkve u
Murteru, Raslini, Kijevu, Mitlu, Vršinama kod
Dubrave, Pokrovniku, Oklaju i Lišanima. Sv.
Mihovil najpopularniji je nebeski arhan-
đel. Njegovo ime na hebrejskom znači
“ Tko je kao Bog “. U Zapadnoj crkvi
štuje se od 6. stoljeća, od vremena
njegovog prikazanja na Monte Gar-
ganu u Apuliji. Blagdan mu se slavi 8.
svibnja i 29. rujna, a Šibenik ga svetkuje
29. rujna, kada se slavi i Dan grada. U Ivanovoj
apokalipsi opisuje se njegova borba sa zma-
jem, kojeg pobjeđuje. U židovskoj predaji
spominje se svečeva borba s đavlom za
Mojsijevo tijelo. Boreći se sa sotonom
Sv. Mihovil bdije nad ljudskim rodom

stoljećima se proslavljao na najsvečaniji način
u Šibeniku. Mnogi važni događaji za grad vezi-
vali su se upravo za dan njegova zaštitnika. U

notes that on that day prayer is held, nobility
and craftsmen bring candles in honor of the
saint, whereas a citizen was welcomed in the
town senate. Every year on the patron’s day in
September a nobleman would be accepted
into the town council, and also it was common
that a prisoner would be released. On the 12th
of March 1453 the town council decreed that
on certain holidays including St Michael’s day
no trading was allowed in the town ,fortress ,
or in the district except for small things that
were necessary for food. A very serious penal-
ty was enforced to those who forged the seal
of St Michael; the punishment was amputati-
on of the right hand and banishment from the
town and its district. The portrait of St Michael
is preserved on many historical works of art;
paintings, sculptures, and on buildings, which
proves how much this patron was respected
and worshiped in Sibenik and the Sibenik bis-
hopric. Alongside many emblems and seals
with the picture of St Michael , the significant
ones can be seen on historical paintings, like
the ones on the polychrome from the chur-
ch St Grgur painted by a well-known Sibenik
artist from the 15c Nikola Vladanov; the pol-
ychrome from the church of St Krševan ;in the
codex of Bishop Kosirić, and it can be found
on the Sibenik bagatin (local Sibenik curren-
cy from the 15c); it also can be traced on the
statute of the town of Sibenik from 1608 ; on
various liturgical objects; on altars and as well
as on many modern works of art.
na blagdan Sv. Mihovila donose kruh, novac,
svijeće i vino. Poznati šibenski humanistički
pjesnik Juraj Šižgorić bilježi, da se toga dana
održavaju molitve, plemstvo i obrtnici svecu u
čast donose voštanice, a u skupštini se zboru
Senata pridružuje i jedan pučanin. Svake go-
dine na dan nebeskog zaštitnika u mjesecu
rujnu primao bi se po jedan plemić u gradsko
vijeće, a bilo je uobičajeno da se iz zatvora pu-
sti po jedan zatvorenik. O svetkovanju blag-
dana Sv. Mihovila u Šibeniku govori i odluka
Gradskog vijeća od 12. ožujka 1453. godine da
se na određene blagdane, među koje i spada
blagdan Sv. Mihovila ne može trgovati u gra-
du, tvrđavi i distriktu osim sa sitnim stvarima
potrebnim za prehranu. Statutom je predviđe-
na vrlo stroga kazna za krivotvorenjem pečata
s likom Sv. Mihovila i to odsjecanje desne ruke,
istjerivanje iz grada Šibenika i njegovog dis-
trikta u vječno progonstvo. Prikaz Sv. Mihovila
sačuvao se na brojnim kulturno - povijesnim i
umjetničkim predmetima slikarstva, kiparstva,
arhitekture i umjetničkog obrta, što je dokaz
značenja, veličine i štovanja nebeskog zaštit-
nika kroz minula stoljeća u Šibeniku i Šiben-
skoj biskupiji. Pored brojnih grbova i pečata s
likom Sv. Mihovila značajni su i njegovi prikazi
na spomenicima slikarstva, kao na poliptihu
iz crkve Sv. Grgura - poznatog šibenskog sli-
kara 15. stoljeća Nikole Vladanova, poliptihu
iz crkve Sv. Krševana - Blaža Trogiranina, 15.
stoljeće u kodeksu biskupa Kosirića, 15. st., na
šibenskom bagatinu (lokalni šibenski novac
iz 15. st.), Statutu grada Šibenika iz 1608. go-
dine, brojnim predmetima liturgijske upotre-
be, oltarnim palama te na likovnim radovima
suvremenih umjetnika. Snažan lik gradskog
zaštitnika, koji gazi sotonu i ubiva je kopljem,
velikim raširenim krilima zaštitnički bdije i drži
pod kopljem Krešimirov grad.

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING OD SVEGA POMALO

The port of Sibenik
The Port of Sibenik is one of the most protected harbours
on the whole of the Adriatic. The port is naturally protected
from storms, winds and large waves. To enter into the port
you first have to navigate the St. Ante canal, which is 2700
metres long and between 120 and 300 metres wide. Ships
up to 50,000 DWT (Deadweight tonnage) can freely sail
through the canal. The length of the Sibenik harbour is ten
kilometres and the width is between 300 and 1,200 metres.
The depth is between 8 and 40 metres.

ŠIBENSKA LUKA
Šibenska luka je jedna od najzaštićenijih na hrvatskoj ja-
dranskoj obali. Luka je prirodno zaštićena od olujnog vjetra
i velikih valova. U nju se uplovljuje Kanalom sv. Ante, koji je
dug 2700 i širok od 120 do 300 metara. Kanal omogućuje slo-
bodnu plovidbu brodovima do 50.000 DWT. Duljina šiben-
ske luke je deset kilometara, a širina je od 300 do 1.200 m.
Dubina je od 8 do 40 metara.

THE ISLAND OF PRVIĆ

Ante BARANIĆ CROPIX

The island of Prvić is unique in the Sibenik County becau-
se it is the only island that has two settlements on it, they
are Luka and Šepurina. The village of Prvić Luka was first
inhaboted in 1461, while Šepurina first took shape in the
16th century. One of the greatest Croatian scientists, wri-
ters, philosophers, inventors and historians Faust Vrančić
is buried in the county church in Luka. In fact the society
of public health is currently building a monument park for
Faust Vrančić.

OTOK PRVIĆ
Posebnost Prvića je u tome što je to jedini otok u šibenskom
akvatoriju na kojem se nalaze dva naselja - Luka i Šepurina.
Mjesto Prvić Luku prvi su naselili franjevci-glagoljaši godine
1461. Naselje Šepurina oblikovano je u 16. stoljeću. Jedan od
najvećih hrvatskih znanstvenika, filozof, pisac, izumitelj, po-
lihistor i leksikograf Faust Vrančić pokopan je u župnoj crkvi
u Prvić Luci. Udruga Narodno zdravlje u Luci upravo gradi
Spomen park Faustu Vrančiću.

SIBENIK CHILDREN’S
Nikša Stipaničev CROPIX

FESTIVAL
The city of Sibenik has held a festival in the name of chil-
dren since 1958. At the beginning the festival was named
the Yugoslavian Children’s festival, and then in 1991 the
name was changed to the International Children’s Festival.
This year the festival should have marked its 50th anniver-
sary, although in reality it was the 48th anniversary because
at the beginning the festival was held once every two years.
The International Children’s Festival is a multi-medial cultu-
ral event, in fact the festival includes the best of everything
for children. It is held over two weeks, from the last week of
June and the first week of July.

DJEČJI FESTIVAL
Od 1958. godine u Šibeniku se održava festival posvećen dje-
ci. U početku se nazivao Jugoslavenski festival djeteta, a od
1991. nosi naziv Međunarodni festival djeteta. Ove godine
obilježit će pedesetu obljetnicu održavanja, no to će biti nje-
govo 48 izdanje, jer se u početku održavao bienalno, svake
druge godine. Međunarodni festival djeteta je multimedijal-
na kulturna svečanost, odnosno smotra onoga što je najbo-
lje u stvaralaštvu za djecu. Održava se dva tjedna, u posljed-
njem tjednu u lipnju i u prvom tjednu u srpnju. MDF je član

bio je smješten na desnoj
obali rijeke Krke na po-
dručju današnjeg sela Ivoševci.
Na lokalitetu “Šuplja crkva” da-
nas se vide ostaci lukova koji su
pripadalo zgradi pretorija (zapo-
vjedništva logora).Logor je vje-
rojatno bio sagrađen 33. godine
prije Krista, kada je tu nakratko
boravila XX. legija. Nakon bitke
kod Akcija 31. godine prije Krista
u Burnum se stacionirala XI. legi-
ja. Arheološka istraživanja koja
su provedena na području logo-
ra potvrdila su postojanje dvije
građevinske faze. U prvoj, starijoj
fazi, podignut je manji, a kasni-
je, u drugoj fazi, veći pretorij. Za
pretpostaviti je da gradnju stal-
noga logora započinje provincij-
ski namjesnik Publije Kornelije

excavations carried out in the
area of the camp revealed that
the camp was built in two pha-
ses. In the first, older phase a
small part was constructed and
then in the second phase the
majority of the work was carri-
ed out. Building was initiated by
the Roman governor for Dalma-
tia Publie Kornelius Dolabela. A
few recovered written items are
evidence on the construction of

Medieval mediterranean garden

Medieval Mediterranean Garden of
St Lawrence Monastery (MMG) in
Sibenik was restored and opened
on 6th November 2007 after being
forgotten about for a hundred ye-
ars. MMG is an integral part of the
St Lawrence Monastery and an in-
tegral part of the programs that the
Sibenik Private Gymnasium has de-
veloped. The restoration project of
MMG was completed by renowned
landscape architect, Dragutin
Kiš, who received the Millennium
Award for Flora in Japan, 2000. This
particular type of garden is notably
rare, as it is the only one of its kind
in Croatia, and there a very few in
this part of Europe. MMG follows
an established medieval design: a
cross design for a pathway, small
centrally located water feature, with

medicinal plants and herbs. A speci-

assortment of thyme in a wonderful
array of red, purple, silver, light and
dark green foliage. The sensational
combination of colours is a true
work of art. Another notable attrac-
tion in the garden are the capers.
Legend has it that Juraj Dalmatinac
brought the first capers to Sibenik.
They have been planted within the
gaps and cracks in the stone walls
as a homage to the great builder.

MEDITERANSKI VRT
„Sv. Lovre“ u Šibeniku je obnovljen i otvoren 6.studenog
2007, nakon što je gotovo sto godina bio zaboravljen.
SSMV je sastavni dio samostana Sv. Lovre, i sastavni dio
programske sheme Šibenske privatne gimnazije. Projekt
obnove SSMV napravio je naš poznati parkovni arhitekt,
Dragutin Kiš, dobitnik milenijske nagrade Flora u Japanu
2000. godine. Ovaj vrt je rijetka znamenitost, jer je jedini
samostanski vrt takve vrste u Hrvatskoj , inače ovakvi vr-
tovi su vrlo rijetki, svega nekoliko u ovom dijelu Europe.
SSMV slijedi poznatu srednjovjekovnu shemu: križna sta-
za, u središtu mali zdenac, jednostavno parterno uređenje
obrubljeno šimširom i prekrasnim, starinskim mirišljavim
ružama. U četiri polja je zasađeno ljekovito i začinsko bilje.
Posebno mjesto pripada zbirci majčine dušice s prekra-
snim crvenkastim, ljubičastim, sivkastim, svijetlozelenim i
tamnozelenim bojama lišća. Kombinacijom boja zbirka je
vrhunska likovna i oblikovna senzacija. Još jedna zname-
nitost vrta su kapari. Legenda kaže da je kapare u Šibenik
donio Juraj Dalmatinac. Kapari su posađeni u šupljinama
zidova te nas podsjećaju na velikog graditelja J. Dalma-
tinca. S pomoću jedne korisne „srednjovjekovne“ biljke
mogu se povezati kamen, biljka i Juraj Dalmatinac. Isto
tako, u našem gradu je rođen Ro-
