La forteresse Saint- Nicolas

Visitor Center Information

A place where the river meets the sea, where knowledge and experiences are exchanged

The visitor centre St Anthony’s Channel is the central location for the presentation of the biodiversity, natural and cultural values of the protected areas of the Šibenik-Knin County, intended for providing

and education for visitors. The content of the exhibition comprises a series of multimedia interactive displays of flora and fauna, particularly the undersea world, which enables visitors, with the help of virtual reality devices, to experience the natural and cultural values of the channel and the Krka estuary as well as other protected areas of the Šibenik-Knin County.

The visitor centre St Anthony’s Channel is located in Minerska Cove, one of the most accessible coves in the St Anthony’s Channel, which can be reached by land and sea. On the left side of the channel the former Yugoslav Army built a complex of military facilities, warehouses and piers with related infrastructure and this location was, therefore, unknown even to Šibenik residents until about twenty years ago because they were strictly denied access to the complex.
