St. Michael's Fortress
This fortress sits on a hill and is one of the oldest spots in the city. It has been around since medieval times and was built for defense. The place is most popular for its epic views over the city and the sea, and for hosting open-air concerts and events.
St. Jacob’s Cathedral
This cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Built entirely from stone, it took over a century to complete and is famous for its unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles. The structure stands out for its massive stone dome and detailed stonework, all crafted without using any wood or bricks.

Beach Jadrija
