The monument of King Petar Kresimir IV

Favorite thing: Sibenik was mentioned for the first time during the reign of King Petar Kresimir IV (1058-1074), who brought the Croatian medieval state to the peak of the political and military power. From the document of King Petar Kresimir IV, which was issued by him in Sibenik on December 25, 1066 to the Zadar Benedictine monastery of St. Mary, we learn that he stayed and ruled in Sibenik at that time, with all his state dignitaries and the whole episcopate of his kingdom. His inheritors, Kings Zvonimir and Stjepan II, temporarily stayed and dealt with state affairs in ?ibenik. King Stjepan II (1089-1090) was the last ruler from the Croatian dynasty of Trpimirovici. After him, political conditions in Croatia became very unstable enabling the military and political intervention of Zvonimir's brother-in-law, the Hungarian King Ladislav so that Croatia finally entered the state union with Hungary in 1102. The Hungarian-Croatian kings became the soverigns of ?ibenik as well.

Fondest memory: The town of Sibenik is colloquially known as Kresimir's town.

The fortress of St. Ana

Favorite thing: The fortress of St. Ana was called in older time the fort of St. Mihovil. Its oldest forms, dimensions and aspect are unknown. It had been ruined several times until the beginning of the 15th century, when it was built in today's form by white dressed stone.
In its north-east part, the remnants of material culture from the Iron Age were found. It is quite certain that the Croats had erected their fort at the place where there was the "gradina" of old Illyrians.
