Šibenik - Cathedral of St. James

Šibenik -  Cathedral of St. James
Sibenik has a long history and was given the status of a town in 1167 from Stephen III of Hungary. From 1412 to 1797 Sibenik was part Republic of Venice.

In 1895 the first power plant, planned by Nikola Tesla, started operation, making Sibenik to one of the first towns in Croatia, which were illuminated by electricity.

The erection of the "Katedrala sv. Jakova" began in 1431, when the older Romanesque cathedral was transformed. It was completed in 1536 and is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. The first master, who worked here, was Zadar born Giorgio da Sebenico (aka "Juraj Dalmatinac"), born in Zadar. The work was completed by Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino (aka "Nicolas of Florence").

Either this person once blew (like Dizzy Gillespie) a trumpet, that got lost. Or - he suffers from mumps.
