From Wikipedia
St. Nicholas' Fortress (Croatian: Tvrđava Sv. Nikole) is a fortress located in the town of Šibenik, one of the oldest native Croatian towns on the eastern shores of the Adriatic, in central Dalmatia, Croatia.
It was included in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list as part of Venetian Works of Defence between 15th and 17th centuries: Stato da Terra – western Stato da mar in 2017.[1]
Tourists are currently not allowed to enter the fortress, but only explore it from outside. The reason is that the fortress is currently being reconstructed. The reconstruction should be finished till the end of 2018.[2]
The town of Šibenik has a fortification system consisting of four fortresses:
St. Nicholas' Fortress (Tvrđava Sv. Nikole)
St. Michael's Fortress (Tvrđava Sv. Mihovila)
St. John's Fortress (Tvrđava Sv. Ivana)
Barone Fortress (Tvrđava Barone)
Only St. Nicholas' Fortress is at sea, at the entrance to the Šibenik port, and the remaining three are on land.
St. Nicholas' Fortress was built on the left side at the entrance to St. Anthony Channel (kanal sv. Ante), on the island called Ljuljevac. The island is situated at the entrance to the Šibenik channel across the Jadrija beach lighthouse. St. Nicholas' Fortress got its name from the Benedictine Monastery of St. Nicholas, which was originally on the island, but due to the construction of the fortress, it had to be demolished. At the request of domestic Croat population of Šibenik, the Venetian captain Alojzije de Canal decided to build a fort on the island of Ljuljevac on 30 April 1525. The fortress was designed and built by the famous Venetian architect and builder Hyeronimus di San Michaela. It was built by in the 16th century to prevent Turkish boats from reaching the port. St. Nicholas' Fortress was armed with 32 cannons. However, its imposing appearance and size were a bigger threat to the enemy than cannons ever were.
The fortress is one of the most valuable and best preserved examples of defense architecture in Dalmatia. It is made of brick because that material was considered to be most resistant to cannonballs, while the foundations are made of stone. Although defense capabilities of the fortress have never been tested in military operations, the structure still proved successful in protecting the city from sea-bound enemy attacks. During the centuries of use, the structure served to various armies and has undergone a number of renovations, some of them necessary only because of the development of arms. It was completely abandoned by the military in 1979 and has been undergoing renovation ever since.

Svečano otvorenje Tvrđave sv. Mihovila u Šibeniku
St. Michael's fortress was built on a steep hill 60m above sea level, overlooking the estuary of the Krka river. The medieval fortress is the hearth of a town which was mentioned for the first time in 1066. That year the Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV spent some time in Šibenik.
On the fortress you can see that it was constructed between the 13th and 18th century but most of it dates back from the 15th/16th century. Archeological excavations inside the complex of St Michael's fortress revealed many prehistorical and medieval cultural remains. St. Michael's Fortress Revitalization Project , financed by the EU pre-accession programme IPACIIIC - BRI, was finalized in 2014. It includes the renovation of the fortress and the construction of a summer stage with 1077 seats. This makes the fortress a recognizable monument of the cultural heritage. It is accessible to the visitors and it promotes cultural tourism by organizing different cultural, musical and stage events.
