the St. Jacob Cathedral Square (in front of the City Council)
would be easier to install a revolving door instead of a front door. This open-
door policy is the complete opposite in England, there if you want to visit a
friend you first ring call them and find make an appointment to see them
in a few days time. The front door bell is almost completely useless here, in
fact people tend to ring the bell after they have entered as a warning that
they’ve entered. Sometimes this “open-house” system can be dangerous,
especially if a couple are having an “intimate” moment. One good friend
here gave me some good advice on how to avoid such an embarrassing
situation. Before he and his wife got “intimate” he would hang a sign on
his front door “Cleaning the chimney”, close neighbors would know what
this meant and unexpected guests wouldn’t enter for fear of getting dirty
from the soot of the chimney. Unfortunately my apartment didn’t have a
chimney and “Cleaning the air-conditioning” doesn’t have the same effect.
After a few years I moved to a house near to the city and there the situation
was just the same. The “charm” of having your neighbors always within
earshot of your conversation at all times is sometimes a blessing. Just the
other day I was making a coffee when I realized I had run out of sugar, I said
to my wife I’ll go to the shop and buy some when I heard a neighbor shout
out from her bathroom “Don’t worry I’ve got some” and within seconds a
hand appeared from the bathroom holding a sugar bowl.

MEDIEVAL
ŠIBENIK FAIR
The famed cannons on the Sibenik quay are firing
once again, their barrels smoking this time not in
anger, defending the city from an enemy at sea,
but as a part of the Fair in the Medieval Sibenik. It is
an event that takes place through the streets and
squares of the old town by way of which the locals
demonstrate the wealth of their city’s cultural and
historical heritage. The Fair programmes offer a
unique presentation of life, work and gastro- nomic
achievements in the times when Sibenik was the
largest city in Croatia. Special attention is therefo-
re paid to the features of the traditional cultu-
re and oldcraft production of Sibenik. Numerous
local and visiting actors tell stories of the medieval
Sibenik, harmony singing groups and dancing tro-
upes accompany the strollers dressed in tra- ditio-
nal costumes and uniforms while jugglers, fanfa-
re, archers and knights lark around to recreate the
atmosphere of the fairs of those times.
SAJAM U
SREDNJOVJEKOVNOM
ŠIBENIKU
Ponovno pucaju slavni topovi na šibenskoj rivi,
ponovno se njihove cijevi dime, no ovoga puta ne
kako bi se grad obranio od morskog neprijatelja,
već u sklopu manifestacije Sajam u srednjovjekov-
nom Šibeniku kojom Šibenčani svojim gostima po
ulicama i trgovima stare gradske jezgre pokazuju
svu raskoš kulturno-povijesne baštine svoga grada.
Svojim programom ovaj sajam nudi jedinstven
prikaz života, rada i gastronomskih postignuća iz
vremena kada je Šibenik bio najveći hrvatski grad.
Posebna se pozornost stoga usmjeruje na značajke
tradicionalne šibenske kulture i starozanatsku pro-
izvodnju. Brojni domaći i gostujući glumci scen-
skim nastupima pripovijedaju priče o srednjovje-
kovnom Šibeniku; klape i plesne skupine pjesmom
i plesom prate šetače u tradicionalnim nošnjama i
odorama, a žongleri, klaunovi, fanfare, streličari i vi-
tezovi svojim ludorijama oživljavaju atmosferu saj-
mova toga vremena.

SIBENIK – A BRIEF kratka

HISTORY povijest Šibenika

Šibenik was mentioned
for the first time under its
present name in 1066 in
a Charter of the Croatian
King Petar Krešimir IV. For a
period of time, it was a seat
of the Croatian King. For
that reason, Šibenik is also
called "Krešimirov grad"
(Krešimir's city). Through
history the city has experi-
enced many highs and lows,
from the Black Plague in the
17th century to the end of
the Homeland War in 1995
when the city virtually de-
fended the whole of Croatia,
to modern day where the
city is an attractive destina-
tion for tourists from all over
the world. Its many cultural
monuments will amaze you
and the ideal approach to
the city is via the sea. This
is one of the reasons that
more and more nautical to-
urists decide to visit the city.
The coast as the crow flies is
only 56 kilometers long but
thanks to an especially rug-
ged coast has in fact a total
coastline of 806 kilometers.
Šibenik, najstariji samorod-
ni hrvatski grad na Jadranu,
prvi put se spominje još
na Božić 1066. u darovni-
ci kralja Petra Krešimira IV.
Samo ime do danas nije još
objašnjeno, no smatra se da
potječe od pojma šibe, od-
nosno grmlja kojim obiluje
cijeli kraj. Kroz stoljeća je
doživljavao mnoge uspone
i padove, od kojih je za sta-
novništvo najpogubnija bila
epidemija kuge iz 17. stolje-
ća a nakon završetka Domo-
vinskog rata 1995. godine
kada je praktički na ovom
potezu obranjena cijela
Hrvatska, danas se profilira
kao atraktivna turistička de-
stinacija. Mnoštvo njegovih
kulturnih spomenika ćete
poželjeti pomnije razgleda-
ti, a za samog turista najide-
alniji dolazak u Krešimirov
grad je upravo sa morske
strane. To otkriva sve više

rijem Šibensko-Kninske žu-
panije, dugim samo 56 km

izuzetnoj razvedenosti uku-
pna dužina obala je čak 806

nalna parka, onaj na rijeci
There are in fact two natio-
nal parks in the county. One
is the Krka National Park,
which is famous for its wa-
terfalls. Unlike other Dalma-
tian towns that were foun-
ded by the Illyrians, Greeks,
and Romans, it is the oldest
native Croatian town on the
eastern shores of the Adri-
atic. Šibenik was given the
status of a town and its own
diocese in 1298. Excavations
of the castle of Saint Michael
have since proven that the
place was inhabited long
before the actual arrival of
the Croats. The city, like the
rest of Dalmatia, resisted the
Venetians up to 1412. The
Ottoman Empire started to
threaten Šibenik at the end
of the 15th century, but they
never succeeded in conqu-
ering it. In the 16th century,
the fortress of St. Nicholas
was built and, by the 17th
century, its fortifications
were improved again by the
fortresses of St. John and
Šubićevac. The fall of the
Venetian Republic in 1797
brought Šibenik under the
authority of the Habsburg
Monarchy. After World War I,

Šibenik became a part of the
Kingdom of Yugoslavia, whi-
le during World War II it was
occupied by Fascist Italy and
Nazi Germany. After WWII it
became a part of the SFR Yu-
goslavia until Croatia decla-
red independence in 1991.
During the Croatian War of
Independence, Šibenik was
heavily attacked by the Yu-
goslav National Army and
Serbian paramilitary troops.
Although under-armed, the
nascent Croatian army and
the people of Šibenik ma-
naged to defend the city.
The battle lasted for six days
(September 16-22) is often
referred to as the "Septem-
ber battle". The bombings
damaged numerous bu-
ildings and monuments,
including the dome of the
cathedral and the 1870-bu-
ilt theatre building. In an Au-
gust 1995 military operation,
the Croatian army defeated
Serbian forces and freed the
occupied areas, which crea-
ted the basic conditions for
its post-war recovery and
allowed the region to conti-
nue to develop as the centre
of Šibenik-Knin County.

Šibenik je u 20. stoljeću za-
hvatio val industrijalizacije,
potaknut činjenicom da je
još 1895. dobio električnu
energiju koja se proizvodi-
la i na danas postojećoj hi-
droelektrani Jaruga na rijeci
Krki. No, Tvornica elektroda
i ferolegura u predjelu Cr-
nica je prestala sa radom
polovicom 90-ih godina
prošlog stoljeća a proizvod-
nja aluminija u Tvornici la-
kih metala na Ražinama je
znatno smanjena. Još neke
tvrtke su stavile ključ u bra-
vu, a zrak nad Šibenikom
je postao izuzetno čist, baš
kao i more nakon izgradnje
kolektora za otpadne vode.
Baš te činjenice, uz blagu
mediteransku klimu gdje
se i zimi temperatura kreće
blizu 10 stupnjeva Celzija,
trebaju odrediti šibensku
budućnost. Ona se logično
naslanja i na bogatu povi-
jesnu i kulturnu baštinu, pa
se stoga u Šibeniku održa-
vaju razne manifestacije, od
kojih je najpoznatiji Među-
narodni dječji festival, koji
ove godine puni ravnih pet
desetljeća trajanja. Najnovi-
ji u ovom nizu je Festival u
srednjovjekovnom Šibeni-
ku, koji se održava u rujnu.

DEPUTY MAYOR OF SIBENIK
The Fair is the
crown of Sibenik’s
touristic season
This will be the fourth
Medieval Fair, what can
we expect for this years
fair?
This year there are many
new and interesting
events in the fair. Once
again I’m sure that the fair
will attract the interest of
many guests in the Sibe-
nik region and at the same
time be of great interest
to the citizens of Sibenik.
The fair is special because
it presents the traditional
way of life of the middle
ages in the city of Sibenik.
In fact it not only presents
life in Sibenik at that time
but also the whole of Cro-
atia. There are also many
guests from foreign coun-
tries, for example this year
we can expect guests from
Italy who will present how
mozzarella cheese is made.
Then we have guests from
Hungary who will present
their national folklore as
well as another group from
Hungary who will show
us how lacework is made.
Another group from Slove-
nia will present their tradi-
tional cakes. So that apart
from the traditional crafts
from Sibenik we will have
a wide spectrum of crafts
from around the world. We
will also have in this year’s
fair cultural events from all
over Croatia including Si-
benik, Rab, and Korčula. In

INTERVJU TOMISLAV NINIĆ ZAMJENIK GRADONAČELNICE

Sajam je kruna
šibenske turističke sezone

LAZAR ČIVLJAK FAMOUS CITY JEWE
SOUVENIRS – SIBENIK BUTTON AND
Certainly almost everyone
has hidden in their bottom
drawer at least one piece
of this precious metal and
have at one point in their
life used it to decorate an
occasion and the jewelers
trade is as old as man itself.
Can you even imagine the
old city of Sibenik without
a large number of jeweler
workshops. In one of the-
se workshops the famo-
us Sibenik jeweler Lazar
Čivljak continues his work
today on jewelry and all
with a Sibenik signature.
This jeweler has revitali-
zed the Sibenik button, a
traditional Sibenik ornate
piece without which it was
difficult to imagine clothes.
But Mr. Čivljak doesn’t only
make earrings and rings, he
creates almost everything,
and among the most inte-
resting is the jewelry boxes
made with clean silver. The
first was made twenty ye-
ars ago, they are extremely
complicated to create and
down to the last detail they
are handmade.
Four generations
of jewelers
- When you make jewellery
by hand then the “master”
puts his personal stamp
and that is worth a lot more
than machine made items,
although mass produced
jewellery is much easier to
produce. Every line on a
jewellery box is made of sil-
ver threads and unfortuna-
tely sometimes they break
and you have to start from
the beginning again – co-
mments Mr. Čivljak, whose
famous jewellery boxes
have ended up on the side
boards of many well known
people.
- One was given as a gift by
the former bishop to the
former president of Croatia
Dr. Frano Tuđman. The for-
mer Pope John Paul II also
had one, Cardinal Franjo
Kuharić has another and I

JEWELER CREATES AUTHENTIC

AND COINS FROM THE MIDDLE AGES

Gotovo ne postoji osoba
koja u škrinjici za nakit ne
čuva barem jedan komadić
ovog plemenitog metala,
koja se njime nije okitila
makar za jedu lijepu život-
nu prigodu, a zlatarski za-
nat star je koliko i čovjek.
Možete li uopće zamisliti
staru gradsku jezgru Šibe-
nika bez brojnih zlatarskih
radnji. U jednoj od takvih
radnji, onoj šibenskog zla-
tara Lazara Čivljaka nastaju
prave poslastice od nakita,
a sve sa šibenskim potpi-
som. Ovaj je zlatar, naime,
revitalizirao Šibenski bo-
tun, tradicionalni šibenski
nakit bez kojeg se nekada
nije moglo zamisliti ni jed-
no svečarsko ruho. Ne izra-
đuje Čivljak samo naušnice
i prstenje, već gotovo sve,
a najzanimljivija je svaka-
ko kutijica za nakit, pomno
izrađena od čistog srebra
prema motivu s jedne ogr-
lice, samo što je u ovom
slučaju ‘puca’ povećana čak
pet puta. Prvu je izradio pri-
je dvanaest godina, bila je
jako teška i do posljednjeg
detalja izrađena je – ručno.
Četvrta
generacija zlatara
-Kada se nakit radi ručno
onda joj majstor ‘udahne’
svoj osobni pečat, a to je
puno vrjednije od strojne
izrade, iako je ona neos-
porno lakša. Svaki red na
kutijici izrađen je od srebr-
ne žice u jednom komadu,
a dogodi se, fala bogu, koji
put da pukne, pa sve ispo-
četka – kaže Čivljak, čije su
slavne kutijice završile u
vitrinama nekih slavnih lju-
di. -Jednu je na poklon od
bivšeg župana Paška Buba-
la dobio pokojni predsjed-
nik Tuđman, jednu je imao
papa Ivan Pavao Drugi,
jednu kardinal Franjo Ku-
harić, a za jednu znam da
se nalazi u Padovi u crkvi
Svetog Ante. Ponosan sam
na to što su vlasnici većine
ljudi vjere, jer sam u duhu
katoličanstva odrastao i
odgajan – kaže zlatar biblij-
skog imena i otkriva kako
je kutijica relativno skup
poklon čija se cijena kre-
će oko 4000 kuna. Čivljak
je podrijetlom s Kosova, iz
Peći, odakle potječe veliki
broj uglednih zlatara, no
rodnog se grada gotovo
uopće ne sjeća iz vremena
kada je bio dijete, jer je nje-
gov otac Simon, također
poznati majstor ovog za-
nata, od tamo otišao kada
su Lazaru bile samo tri go-
dine. -Ja sam već četvrta
generacija zlatara u našoj
obitelji. U Šibeniku smo
od 1964. godine, a 1965. je
moj otac u gradu otvorio
ovu radnju. Prije tri godine
proslavili smo četrdesetu
obljetnicu, ali joj nismo dali
osobit značaj jer čekamo
pedesetu i valjda ćemo je
doživjeti – smije se Lazar
koji se za nasljednika ne
treba bojati.
Supruga Violeta i on, na-
ime, ponosni su roditelji
trojice sinova: maturanta
Simona, srednjoškolca Ta-
deja i desetogodišnjeg me-
zimca Bruna. Iako ni jedan,
osim najmlađeg pomalo,
nije ‘zagrizao’ za obiteljski
zanat, Lazar je uvjeren kako
tradicija u njihovoj obitelji
neće zamrijeti. -Mene moj
otac nije prisiljavao da po-
stanem ovo što jesam, a
ja svejedno nisam odolio
zlatarstvu. Najdraže mi je
bilo raditi kreacije od zla-
ta kada bi otac otišao na
službeni put, jer to inače
nisam mogao, zato što smo
imali samo jedan radni stol.
Ocu je bilo drago kada bi
me vidio da izrađujem na-
kit jer je znao da jabuka
ne pada daleko od stabla.
Sjećam se da sam jednom
od srebra izradio maketu
šibenske katedrale, ali mi je
brat u igri srušio – prisjeća
se Lazar čiji je rad nedavno
prepoznala i struka.
Zlato zamijenio Nintendo
-Informaciju da sam za Ši-
benski botun nagrađen
plavim cvijetom od strane
HTZ-a saznao sam od novi-
nara koji su došli u radnju
napraviti priču. Nisam ni
znao da sam u konkurenci-
ji. ‘Šibenske botune’ je naj-
prije nagradila TZ naše žu-
panije, a potom i Hrvatska
obrtnička komora – kaže
Čivljak, kojem botun nije
jedina kreativna ideja. On
je, naime, u optjecaj vratio
i stari šibenski novac – ba-
gatin, a nedavno mu je
država odobrila poticaj za
kupnju stroja koji će mu
olakšati izradu ovog sre-
brnjaka, kojem je s jedne
strane lik svetog Mihovila,
zaštitnika Šibenika, a s dru-
ge svetog Marka, zaštitnika
Venecije. - Bagatin je prvi
put iskovan 1485. godine,
nakon dobivenog dekre-
ta od Venecije. Šibenik je
inače bio prvi grad koji je
imao kovani novac, a infor-
macije o tome dobio sam
iz Muzeja i od profesora Ive
Livakovića.

DONKEYS
The donkey is a symbol of Dalmatia. Without this noble,
timid, stubborn and very hardworking animal life would
have been very different in Dalmatia. People wouldn’t
have been able to move so much stone, harvest so many
grapes, make roads and paths or build so many houses,
villages or towns. Men brought water by donkey, climbed
hills and mountains, for people the donkey was the key
to success and hope for the future. And more importantly
the donkey became man’s best friend and companion.
In a sign of gratitude for this unique animal the towns of
Tribunj and Primošten have both placed a statue to the
donkey in the centre of the town. In Tribunj on the first Sa-
turday in August is held the biggest and most well known
“race of the donkeys” along the coast of the Adriatic.
MAGARAC
Magarac je simbol Dalmacije. Bez ove plahe, pleme-
nite, tvrdoglave, ali i vrlo izdržljive životinje ovdašnji
čovjek nikad ne bi raskrčio toliko kamenjara, podigao
brojne vinograde, i maslinike, probio putove i ceste,
izgradio kuće, sela i svoje gradove. Na magarcu je čo-
vjek donosio vodu, penjao se i silazio s njim strmim
padinama, uz more ili u njegovu zaleđu, čovjeku je
magarac bio nada i utjeha, njegova vjera u bolju bu-
dućnost, nerijetko i njegov jedini iskreni prijatelj. U
znak zahvalnosti tom jedinstvenom stvoru, Tribunj i
Primošten na svojim su središnjim trgovima podigli
spomenik magarcu. U Tribunju se prve subote u kolo-
vozu održava i najveća i najpoznatija utrka magaraca
na jadranskoj obali.

SIBENIK CITY GRADSKA STRAŽA
GUARD AS A BRAND kao
OF SIBENIK BREND ŠIBENIKA
The 24th of October 2006 was a historical day for the city of
Sibenik. That day, the city guard of Sibenik was taken from
mothballs and returned back to life. The city guard of Sibenik
was first mentioned in the 15th century. - The idea came into
existence from the Sibenik Tourist Board who came into con-
tact with us; the first notion was to gather the guard just for
the Medieval Fair in Sibenik for that year. However, as we are
good friends, who have known each other since the war, the
city guard remained together after the fair and is still toget-
her today. And thanks to our enthusiasm we have become
one of the best known brands of Sibenik and we have in fact
visited almost all of Croatia – commented the president Još-
ko Babačić. The other members are: deputy president Siniša
Burić, secretary Jurica Arambašić, Josip Čubrić, Kreše Miku-
landra, Željko Škugor, Dubravko Ivec, Igor Vukšić, Željko Vuk-
šić, Darko Škarica, Zlatko Batinica, Milan Drezga, Mate Žurić
and Šime Panjkota a total of fourteen musketeers. - The city
guard has its own bus, with our photo on the sides, in which
we travel around Croatia, so this is an added attraction. We
often joke that only the Sibenik city guard and the Rolling
Stones travel with their own bus. We all get on very well to-
gether, we share the same war experiences and due to this
when we are particularly welcome in Vukovar at their traditi-
onal pilgrimage towards Ovčari – says Siniša Burić and adds
that their honoree member is the bishop of Sibenik Ante Ivas.
- The clothes that we wear are authentic, made according to
sketches that we got from the museum and created by the
Sibenik designer Karmen Herceg. The hardest thing was to
convince us to wear tights, but in the end we had to give in
– joked Jurica Arambašić adding that the Sibenik guard was
most well known for it archers. For this year’s Medieval Fair
these guys have prepared one more surprise. Every day for
a few hours the Sibenik guard will ride horses though the
streets as their predecessors once did.

24. listopada 2006. godine povijesni je dan za grad Šibenik.
Toga je dana, naime, iz naftalina izvađena i u život vraćena Ši-
benska gradska straža, koja se u službenim papirima prvi put
spominje u 15. stoljeću. -Ideja je nastala u Turističkoj zajed-
nici grada koja je potom stupila u kontakt s nama, a prvotna
je misao bila okupiti se samo za Sajam u srednjovjekovnom
Šibeniku te godine. Međutim, kako smo mi dobra ekipa, koja
se međusobno poznaje iz rata, tako je gradska straža ostala
do danas i zahvaljujući našem entuzijazmu postala jedan od
najprepoznatljivijih šibenskih brendova, a obišli smo cijelu
Hrvatsku – kazao nam je predsjednik Joško Babačić. Ostali
članovi su: dopredsjednik Siniša Burić, tajnik Jurica Aramba-
šić, Josip Čubrić, Kreše Mikulandra, Željko Škugor, Dubravko
Ivec, Igor Vukšić, Željko Vukšić, Darko Škarica, Zlatko Batinica,
Milan Drezga, Mate Žurić i Šime Panjkota, ukupno četrnaest
mušketira. -Straža ima i svoj autobus u kojem obilazimo Hr-
vatsku, preko kojeg je naša slika, pa je to još jedna dodatna
atrakcija. Često se šalimo kako jedino mi i Rolling Stonesi
putujemo vlastitim autobusom. Inače se odlično slažemo,
dijelimo isti ratni put, zbog čega smo posebno omiljeni gosti
u Vukovaru na njihovom tradicionalnom hodočašću prema
Ovčari – veli Siniša Burić i dodaje kako je njihov počasni član i
šibenski biskup Ante Ivas. -Odore koje nosimo su autentične,
rađene prema nacrtima koje smo dobili iz Muzeja, a izradi-
la ih je šibenska dizajnerica Karmen Herceg. Najteže nas je
bilo nagovoriti na tajice, ali na kraju smo se morali pomiriti s
njima – smije se Jurica Arambašić nastavljajući kako je Šiben-
ska gradska straža bila prepoznatljiva po samostreličarima,
pa ga tako imaju i oni. No, ove godine na Srednjovjekovnom
sajmu ovi sjajni momci pripremaju još jednu novost. Svaki
dan, naime, i po nekoliko sati, uzimaju satove jahanja u ko-
njičkom klubu Pegasus i ove će godine prvi put, kao i svoji
prethodnici, u grad ujahati – na konjima i Šibenčanima i go-
stima nesumnjivo prirediti sjajan spektakl.

BUNARI - TAJNE ŠIBENIKA

Četiri i pol godine nakon što su počeli radovi
na platou 4 bunara, taj jedinstven detalj ši-
benske spomeničke baštine konačno je ob-
novljen te je tako od proteklog ponedjeljka
Šibenik dobio još jedan atraktivan prostor koji
će nesumnjivo privlačiti pozornost turista, a
na toj lokaciji kako je najavljeno održavat će
se razni kulturni i zabavni programi. Radovi na
uređenju platoa 4 bunara počeli su u siječnju
2004. godine i u toj prvoj fazi trajali su do srp-
nja te godine, da bi nakon toga nastupila više-
godišnja stanka. Radovi su nastavljeni prošle
godine, a cjelokupni projekt stajao je 1,5 mi-
lijun kuna, od čega je 300.000 kuna osiguralo
Ministarstvo kulture, a ostatak Grad Šibenik
iz svog proračuna. Prema riječima šibenskog
konzervatora Ive Šprljana radovi u prvoj fazi
obuhvatili su sanaciju svodova cisterne bu-
nara i počela je gotovo istodobno kada su se
cisterne počele uređivati kao izložbeni pro-
stor, budući da je koncesiju za cisterne dobila
tvrtka ‘Experia’ koja je tu planirala otvorila tzv.
kulturno-turističku atrakciju ‘Bunari - tajne
Šibenika’. To je ujedno bila prilika, kako kaže
Šprljan, da se obave detaljna konzervatorska
istraživanja zidova cisterne i žbuke, kao i na-
čina na koji je funkcionirala cisterna te filtri
za pročišćavanje vode kojih je na platou bilo
šest. -Zahvaljujući tim istraživanjima utvrđen
je i izvorni izgled pločnika na platou četiri bu-
nara, a rezultate tih istraživanja Joško Ćuzela i
ja opisali smo u članku ‘Vodoopskrbni objekt
Četiri bunara u Šibeniku’ koji će uskoro biti
objavljen u splitskom stručnom, konzerva-
torskom časopisu ‘Prilozi povijesti umjetnosti
u Dalmaciji’ – ističe Šprljan. Potom je plato
ojačan armiranom betonskom pločom koja
se statički oslonila na nosivi zid cisterne širok
1,2 metra i koja je preuzela sva opterećenja
tako da su svodovi cisterne ostali rasterećeni,
objašnjava Šprljan. Betonska ploča debela je
čak 20 centimetara, a njenim postavljanjem
pojavio se novi problem – bunarske krune su
‘utonule’ u odnosu na razinu na kojoj su izvor-
no stajale i to točno za debljinu ploče. Njihovo
deniveliranje bio je dio radova druge faze koja
je počela prije godinu i pol. U tom vremenu
obnovljena su i pročelja svih susjednih zgra-
da, restaurirane su sve bunarske krune koje su
sada dobile nove željezne rešetke ispod kojih
je postavljeno i posebno staklo kako voda ne
bi ulazila u cisterne. Postavljen je i novi odvod,
pa sva prikupljena voda sada otječe u grad-
sku kanalizaciju, postavljena je rasvjeta, a na
ulazu u plato, postavljena je željezna ograda.
No ono što će svakako privlačiti pozornost
je popločenje crvenim ciglama složenim po
uzorku riblje kosti, baš onako kako je taj pla-
to izvorno i izgledao, ističe Šprljan. I dok je s
prekidima obnova 4 bunara trajala četiri i pol
godine, gradnja cisterne tj. vodoopskrbnog
sustava u srednjem vijeku trajala je sedam
godina - od 1446. do 1453. godine. Gradio
ju je poznati graditelj cisterni iz tog vremena
Jakov Corerra iz Trania. Imala je kapacitet od
28.000 barila ili oko 1400 prostornih metara
kišnice. Ukupna površina cisterne podijeljene
u dva dijela bila je 205 četvornih metara, a po-
vršina platoa nad cisternom je 364 četvorna
metra. Nadzor nad izvođenjem radova bio
je povjeren Jurju Dalmatincu koji je u to vri-
jeme, zbog nekih nesporazuma i nedostatka
novca, imao manje posla na gradnji šibenske
katedrale. Bunarske krune na platou klesarski
su rad Jurja Mihajlova iz Zadra i Marka Petrova
iz Apulije

ISLANDS IN NUMBERS
In the Sibensko- Kninska County
there are 285 islands in the sea
(which are larger than 1 kilome-
ter squared) as well as islets, tidal
islands and reefs, in fact the co-
unty has more islands than the
rest of the Republic of Croatia.
149 of these islands are located
in the Kornati National Park and
the remaining 136 islands have a
total surface area of 665 km squ-
ared. If we compare this with ot-
her European countries we come
up with some very interesting re-
sults. For example in Great Brita-
in there are 803 islands, while in
Denmark there is one peninsular
and 499 islands. Further a field
the island nation of Fiji in the Pa-
cific Ocean has “only” 322 islands.
In Europe the country with the
most islands is Finland with an
The Sibenik Times
Stanko Ferić EPEHA
impressive 179,000 islands (with
more than 100 meters squared).
For those who don’t know anot-
her interesting fact is that coun-
try also has 188,000 lakes (over
500 meters squared). Also in Eu-
rope Norway has 74,523 islands
in their sea and 42,593 inland
islands. The Republic of Croatia
before half a century had 1,185
islands but after a recount three
years ago that was corrected to
1,246. Greece has 1,400 islands,
Australia 8,222, New Zealand
1,065, the Philippines 7,100, the
Maldives 1,192 islands and in Ja-
pan there are 6,852 islands with
a surface area over 100 meters
squared. To explain these exam-
ples a little better Japan has a co-
astline which is 27,359 kilometers
long while Croatia has a coastline
only 4,398 kilometers in length.
Among these numerical “giants”
from the world’s island nations
there is no room for the Republic
of Croatia. Although among the
record holders in Europe, accor-
ding to the category of indented
coastlines, Croatia takes second
place with a factor of 9,7. The lea-
der is Norway (with a factor of 20)
with Greece in third place (with a
factor of 8) and fourth goes to
Spain (with an indention factor
of 5). Although these numbers
and factors are impressive but to
really get a feel for theses islands
you need to take a more senti-
mental outlook. Every island is a
machine for producing wonder-
ful memories and every bay on
them is a laboratory that invents
new feelings.
Otočne računice
U ovoj je županiji 285 morskih
otoka (većih od kvadratnog kilo-
metra) i otočića, hridi (nad vodom i
u vrijeme plime) i grebena, više no
što ih imaju mnoge čitave zemlje.
Njih 149 ih je u Kornatima, a 136 u
ostatku otočja na ukupno 665 km2.
Licitirajući brojkama o najobdare-
nijem moru kojem sjedimo u nje-
govom najljepšem dijelu poučno
je pogledati preko granice. Najveći
otočani među Europljanima, oni u
Velikoj Britaniji, imaju 803 otoka. U
Danskoj je takav zbroj nacionalna
krilatica jer imaju jedan poluotok
i 499 otoka. Otočna država Fidži
u Pacifiku ima “samo” 322 otoka.
U Europi najviše otoka ima Finska
sa 179 000 otoka (onih uopće ve-
ćih od 100 m2). Komu je to neo-
bično treba znati i to da ta zemlja
ima 188 000 jezera, ne brojeći ona
manja od 500 m2. I močvarna Juž-
na Karolina ima 2 508 otoka. Nor-
veška ima 74 523 morskih i 42 593
unutrašnjih otoka. Takvo istančano
prebrojavanje je i pola stoljeća star
hrvatski zbroj od 1 185 prije tri go-
dine ispravilo na 1 246. U Grčkoj je
1 400 otoka, u Australiji 8 222 (od
toga na Tasmaniju otpada jedna
tisuća), na Novom Zelandu 1 065,
na Filipinima 7 100, na Maldivima 1
192, a u Japanu onih koji su veći od
100 m2 ima ukupno 6 852. Obala
Japana je duga 27 359 km, dok u
Hrvatskoj imamo 4 398 km dugu
13
obalu svih otoka i još dvije tisuće
kilometara dugu obalu. Nakon što
su svoje otoke pobrojali na sate-
litskim snimcima u najotočnijoj
zemlji svijeta su zbroj povisili na
18 108 indonezijskih otoka s 20
731 km2 (u Hrvatskoj 3 259 km2,
osam puta manje od jedne Sardi-
nije), a ukupna im je otočna obala
duga 108 920 km. Od tih je oko 6
000 otoka nastanjeno. U društvu
tih numeričkih “teškaša” iz svijeta
otoka nema najvišeg mjesta za Hr-
vatsku. Među rekordima ona s fak-
torom 9,7 u Europi zauzima drugo
mjesto po razvedenosti obale,
poslije Norveške (s faktorom 20) a
prije Grčke (faktor razvedenosti je
8) i Španjolske (faktor razvedenosti
je 5). To je stvarnost brojki. Za do-
življaj prostora ipak je važnija sen-
timentalna geografija. Ni na tako
razvedenoj obali nema brojki koje
mogu nadomjestiti sjećanja na
boravljenja u ovakvom krajoliku.
Svaki je otok stroj za proizvodnju
sjećanja, a svaka njegova uvala
laboratorij u kakvom se uvijek
iznova izumljuju neprocjenljivosti
iz područja nepredvidive ljudske
kemije. Morsko otočje poput Kor-
nata, riječni otočić poput Visovca,
slapovi i sprudovi s obje strane raz-
djelnice kopna i mora u ovom su
kraju ostvarili kombinaciju kakva
se ne može zaboraviti ni pred ka-
kvim rekorderskim zbrojem.

CROATIA
The ultimate cocktail which
can only be mixed by a barman
freefalling from 10,000 feet has
been launched in Croatia. The
Wings of Zadar cocktail, based
on the local Maraschino liqu-
eur, is poured upside down so
that the drink flies upwards
into the mixer, and then shaken
as the barman performs a seri-
es of somersaults.
The drink is chilled by the free-
zing air rushing over the shaker
- and then served on landing
to the customer. Drinks creator
Ante Butic, who has been ser-
ving the drinks to clients on the
beach at Zadar, said: “The high
altitude mix gives the drink a
distinct flavour.
Preparation
Cook the potatoes in their skins. Peel and rice them while still warm. Set aside to
cool. Cut open the plums, remove the pits, and if they are not fully ripe or sweet
enough, stuff with a bit of sugar or cinnamon sugar. To make the dough, mix the
potatoes with the flour, butter (or oil), egg and salt and knead well. Add enough
flour to make a light, but not sticky dough. Roll the dough out to a 12 mm (1/2”)
thickness on a floured board, then cut into approximately 7.5 cm (3”) squares.
Place a plum in the middle of each square of dough, flour your hands, pull the
corners together, and shape into small dumplings, making sure that each plum
is completely covered and there are no openings anywhere. Cook in a large pot
of boiling water until the dumplings rise to the surface, then continue cooking
for another 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Brown the bread crumbs
in the oil or melted butter until golden brown; place the dumplings carefully into
the bread crumbs, and roll them around to coat. Remove the dumplings and serve
sprinkled with powdered sugar.
