Šibenik is a city in Croatia, the capital of the Šibenik-Knin county. It is located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, next to the mouth of the Krka River. Its population, in 2011, was 46,332 inhabitants. Šibenik Bay is one of the best natural harbors in the Adriatic and is characterized by a very jagged coastline. Off its coasts are numerous islands along with many islets: Prvić, Zlarin, Žirje, Kakan, Kaprije and Obonjan stand out among the islands. The city has its exit to the sea through the Sveti Ante channel (perfectly visible on the stamp). The municipality of Šibenik comprises 32 urban settlements. It is one of the oldest cities on the Croatian Adriatic coast, founded in the 9th century.
