The cathedral is unique because it was built entirely of stone without any binding material. The old town offers narrow streets, churches and palaces from different periods.
The fortresses of St Michael and St John dominate the city skyline. Nearby are Krka and Kornati national parks, ideal for day trips. Krka National Park is known for its spectacular waterfalls and lakes.
