In the village of Danilo Gornje, located 17 km from Sibenik, is one of the most important archeological sites in Croatia. At the site of Šema Torij there is a complex of Roman villas, at the foot of the settlement's remains and fortification system from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages.

On the hill above the old core are the fortress of St. Ivana and Baron from where it overlooks the whole surrounding area and the islands.
Šibenik channel sv. Ante, one of the most beautiful parts of the Adriatic coast and the most beautiful sea ports in the city. Some 2 km from the center there is a promenade through the canal. Ante, the attractions that Sibenik finally returns to one of the most valuable city areas - the shore of the canals of St. Ante, which with its natural beauty can be seen at first sight and a beautiful panoramic view of Sibenik, the Šibenik archipelago and the fortress of St. Nicholas hide and numerous cultural and natural values. Organized trails, dock and gazebo, cultural and recreational facilities allow various activities throughout the area (walks, recreational running, nordic walking, orientation, cycling, cultural sightseeing, panoramic sightseeing, organization of trainings and sports competitions etc.).

The link is about 4.5 kilometers long and due to the hilly terrain it takes about an hour. The walkway also includes several attractions. In addition to the main gazebo (about 1.5 km away from the entrance to the Panikovac bay), from which you can enjoy the panorama of 360 degrees, there is also the attractive cave of St. Ante with an underground chapel.

Two interesting things to visit are also to be mentioned. One of the Hawk center in Dubrava, which can rightfully be said to be specific, both for the Šibenik - Knin County and for Croatia, because it is the only such center where you can see different types of birds of prey. It is located in the heart of the Mediterranean wilderness and at the same time only 7 km from Sibenik, and is an indispensable place for those who want to taste the wilderness and adventure. A special program is prepared for visitors to enjoy the beauty of the Hawk Flight and be "eyes in the eye" with these incredible hunters. For centuries, a variety of predators have been cultivated in the center for many years, for which there is less and less space in the nature because of the unhindered course of "civilization". It can rightly be said that it is specific for the Šibenik - Knin County as well as for Croatia because it is the only such center where different bird species can be seen. Special place is also a stationary for wounded, sick or simply starved birds who need help to survive in nature. We can proudly say that the hawking, as the art of coaching, at least as far as Croatia is concerned, is born here, and that it has sprung up many youths who today ruled over this medieval art.
Another interesting thing in Sibenik is Baldekin where on October 22, 2011, the bronze Drazen cast of Akademik sculptor Kažimira Hraste was revealed, showing the basketball player in his first phase of his career sitting on a bench with a basketball ball between his legs.

Another interesting thing in Sibenik is Baldekin where on October 22, 2011, the bronze Drazen cast of Akademik sculptor Kažimira Hraste was revealed, showing the basketball player in his first phase of his career sitting on a bench with a basketball ball between his legs. The Memorial Museum, which was initiated by Biserka Petrović, was erected in Drazen's apartment in the nearby town district of Bule. During the European Basketball Championship on September 18, 2013, Dražen Petrovic was selected for the best European basketball player of all time in the selection organized by the portal dedicated to basketball HoopsHype.com. 38 basketball players from the Eurobasket in Slovenia were selected, who were supposed to list the top five European basketball players of all time.
