From Wikipedia
The Cathedral of St. James (Croatian: Katedrala sv. Jakova) in Šibenik, Croatia is a triple-nave basilica with three apses and a dome (32 m high inside) in the city of Šibenik, Croatia. It is the church of the Catholic Church in Croatia, and the see of the Šibenik diocese. It is also the most important architectural monument of the Renaissance in the entire country. Since 2000, the Cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is often known as St Jacob's, because Croatian, like many other languages, uses the same name for both James and Jacob. It is dedicated to Saint James the Greater.
The building of the church was initiated in 1402, though plans on its construction had already begun in 1298, when Šibenik became a municipality. The actual work to transform the older Romanesque cathedral began in 1431. Built entirely of stone (limestone from a nearby stone quarry and marble from the island of Brač), it was completed in three phases, from 1433 to 1441, when the Grand City Council entrusted the work to local and Italian masters Francesco di Giacomo, Lorenzo Pincino, Pier Paolo Bussato, Bonino da Milano, and Giorgio da Sebenico (Juraj Dalmatinac) and to Croatian ones Andrija Budčić and Grubiš Šlafčić.
Initially, it was conceived as a simple church. With tremendous skill, Giorgio da Sebenico combined architectural and decorative elements to create a unified entity. He constructed the western main portal, the northern portal (The Lion Gate) and the first chapel. The western main portal was decorated by the Bonino da Milano, first master mason, with statues of Christ and the twelve apostles. The bronze door was created in 1967 by the Šibenik sculptor Grga Antunac.
The motif of the northern portal, called the Lion Gate, are Adam and Eve standing on two lions, which is also seen at the Trogir Cathedral, but here Adam and Eve are on columns over the lions. These statues, together with St. Jacob and St. Peter, are the work of Juraj Dalmatinac, as he is called in Croatia. The statue of Eve draws the attention of onlookers as she has a belly button, while, according to the Bible, she was conceived from a rib of Adam.The bronze doors were made in 1967 by the Šibenik sculptor Grga Antunac.
The two Renaissance putti at the northern end of the cathedral bear an inscription of the consecration in 1443 of the cathedral. Under their feet is his only remaining signature: Hoc opus cuvarum fecit magister Georgius Matthei Dalmaticus. He also designed the baptistery in the 1440s. He built it next to the southern apse in the form of a quatrefoil. The upper part is covered with lacelike sculptures, the first Renaissance sculptural work in Croatia. The flat niches are vaulted with corrugated seashells of St. James. On the baldachins between them hold two statues: King David and the prophet Simon. The vault ribs end in the keystone representing the Father God, surrounded by angels and the dove (symbol of the Holy Ghost). The baptismal font, made from reddish breccias, is supported by three angels.
Between 1475 and 1505 the work was overseen by Tuscan master Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino (Nicola Firentinac), from the Donatello school of sculpture who developed as a sculptor and builder in Dalmatia. He continued the building in the Tuscan Renaissance style, completing the extensive galleries, building the vault in the central nave, the outer sculptures of St. Michael, St. James and St. Mark. The drawing of this sculpture of St. Michael became also the coat of arms of the city of Šibenik, because in the 12th century the justiciar of Monte Sant'Angelo, who was from Siponto, was sent by Pope Alexander III as a notifier to Šibenik. According to the Longobard writer Pavlo Đakon from the year 642, Croats have many ships under the city of Siponto. Šibenik and Trogir as sovereign city-states had with each other treaties of alliance, but the duke was annoyed, after which he was driven out of Trogir. The barrel roof is made from a line of enormous stone slabs and considered a marvel of construction at the time,[1] and the upper façade. He also built the triforias (parallel galleries) and worked on the presbytery and sanctuary.
Dome of the cathedral and sculpture of St. Michael
Although the dome of Šibenik Cathedral was built after the dome in Florence, Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino used an octagonal drum in its construction, before Bramante and Michelangelo, in its original function as the transition from the square base to the circular dome.[2] The execution of the cupola is considered one of the best achievements of Renaissance architecture.

Horbury St Peter & St Leonard Church Clock Chimes 1 o'clock
Clock Chimes with the new bells: Please watch and compare
Well yeah, after ringing at Thornhill and walking to Horbury, we stopped for some lunch at the pub and to have a little drink, and I decided to record the clock chimes of St Peter and St Leonard's church at Horbury, which we would ring at after having lunch, so I left my half-pint of cider in the pub to film the chimes in the nick of time, they start chiming at the start of the video. The church however was built by local architect John Carr in 1790-1993 replacing and older church which was a chapel to what is now Wakefield Cathedral, the bells are a 11cwt Whitechapel ring of 8 tuned to G which you can see the video on the end screen. The Clock however chimes the Westminster Chines and was installed in 1899 replacing an earlier clock, so it must be a Potts of Leeds clock or something...
Kali — Ugljan, Croatia | Kroatien / DRONE FOOTAGE | Pointers Travel ag
Kali - village upon a hill
Kali is a village of famous Adriatic fishermen who proved themselves and are well known in the seas around the world. The uniqueness of Kali lies in two ports full of fishermen boats and the tradition of fishermen repairing their nets. The ancient centre of the village, with narrow streets and stone houses in Dalmatian style, is placed in the hill from which you can have the most beautiful view of the surrounding area. What dominates the village is the tower bell of the baroque church dedicated to Kali's patron saint, St Lawrence.
Delicious food and golden beaches of Kali
Do you know the way to golden shingles is a line from a song celebrating Kali. The gold to which the poet refers to can be found in hidden coves amidst lush greenery and the shimmering blue expanse lulls the visitor into the perfect summer aquarelle.
The hinterland of Kali is full of trails that will delight both hikers and cyclists. The Venetian fort of Saint Michael awaits as a finish line prize, with its unforgettable vistas.
Kali is home to one of the oldest fishermen's feasts on the Adriatic, the Tunuare. A chief feature of this event is the procession of shipping boats along the Zadar Channel; it becomes even more interesting if observed from the shore while eating the traditional Kali brodetto or one of the hundred or so ways in which tuna is prepared here.
