Šibenik Old Town House sit on Biskupa Fosca 9, a quiet stone lane right behind the cathedral square.

Šibenik is the oldest native Croatian city on the Adriatic, founded in 1066. Its medieval centre is a labyrinth of stone alleys, polished by 900 years of footsteps, opening unexpectedly onto small squares and four fortresses on the surrounding hills. Two UNESCO World Heritage sites — the cathedral and St. Nicholas Fortress — sit within walking distance of each other.
