It’s easy to rush right to Sibenik’s main highlight, the Cathedral of St James (Sv Jakov) but there are other sights to see in this historic town. Right in the center is a beautifully renovated medieval garden located in the monastery of St Lawrence (Sv Lovre). Although neglected for a century, this garden renovation was designed by award-winning landscape architect Dragutin Kiš, who followed the traditional  medieval
layout: a cross path with a small well at its centre. The entire
garden is enclosed by bushes and old scented roses. At the centre  is a collection of decorative thyme.
As it is part of a monastery,visitors can also visit the Gospina Spilja (“Cave of the Lady”) and the St Lawrence Church, both part of the St Lawrence monastery.
