History and monuments
The town of Šparadići got its name from the name of the Šparada family, which has lived here for more than four centuries. There is a rich and varied offer for lovers of history and monuments in the vicinity. The traces found testify to the original inhabitants of Illyrian, Greek and Croatian origin.
In the vicinity of Šparadiči (10 km) lies Primošten, which was attacked and completely destroyed many times in the past, a town that is today a popular pearl of the Adriatic. Here you can visit the church of St. Jurja built on the seashore in 1485, rebuilt and extended several times. An altar and an old organ can be seen in the church. An icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary in a silver frame is kept here. Church of St. Roka - the church itself is a historically valuable monument, where you can find a monument to a killed priest whose name was Ivan Šarič.
Another center of history is Šibenik, a town 15 km from Šparadič. This beautiful historic town has preserved its ancient character and part of the fortifications. The three forts on the hill above the town are especially important. The lowest is the fortress of St. Michal (fort of St. Mihovil), which was previously referred to as the fortress of St. Anny (tvrdjava sveta Ana). It is situated on the site of Krešimir's former residence - the castle. Above is the fortress of Šubičevac and at the highest point (125 m above sea level) the fortress of St. John (tvrdjava sveti Ivan). Of all of them, the view of the city of Šibenik and the island labyrinth is unique and breathtaking. You can also visit the cathedral of St. Jakub (Sveti Jakov), which is one of the most valuable monuments in all of Croatia. Opposite the cathedral is the Renaissance town hall from the 16th century, another valuable building. If you are a history lover, you will certainly not be bored in the surroundings of the town of Šparadiči.
