CROATIA

A nice cover from Croatia with 4 different stamps, including one 3.10 stamp and a 4.00 stamp (both on the right corner), celebrating the Cathedral of St. James in Sibenik. The Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik, is a triple-nave catholic basilica with three apses and a dome (32 m high inside). It is the episcopal seat of the Šibenik diocese. It is also the most important architectural monument of the Renaissance in the entire country. Since 2000, the cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is often known as "St. Jacob's", because Croatian, like many other languages, uses the same name for both "James" and "Jacob". It is dedicated to Saint James the Greater.
