Cathedral of St. James, a photo from Sibensko-Kninska, Coast

Photographer's Note

The Cathedral of St. James in 格benik.
The building of the church was initiated in 1402, though plans on its construction had already begun in 1298, when 格benik 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 Grubi� 獲afčić.

The Cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Hello Janusz,
A beautiful photo of this grand fa軋de of the church. I like the low viewpoint and the inclusion of the people. You handled the exposure of the many white walls very well too.
