CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
A 282 km round trip from Šibenik - roughly 5 h 18 in the saddle. On the way it passes Historic City of Trogir, Historical Complex of Split with the Palac, back through Historic City of Trogir and back through Historical Complex of Split with the Palac.
51 km through ground somebody thought worth listing. The road passes it rather than bypassing it — speed drops and stays down. Park rather than crawl through.
This part of the ride is 28 km of Adriatic Highway, Jadranska Magistrala.
Croatian cathedrals are usually built of brick and timber, so the first odd thing about St James in Šibenik is that it is made entirely of stone, vaulted and roofed in carefully shaped slabs that lock together without a scrap of wood or mortar in the structure. It took more than a century to finish, from the 1430s into the 1530s, and the work passed through the hands of Juraj Dalmatinac and later Niccolò Fiorentino, which is why Gothic and Renaissance ideas sit in the same building. UNESCO added it to the World Heritage list in 2000.

The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik is where the day begins. Next is Historic City of Trogir.
Trogir is an island, though you barely notice it. The old town sits on a tiny islet between the mainland and the larger island of Čiovo, linked to both by short bridges, and inside its walls is one of the best preserved medieval towns on the Adriatic, a UNESCO site of narrow lanes, stone palaces and churches, crammed into an area you can walk across in five minutes.

Historic City of Trogir comes up about 55 km into the recorded legs. Next is Historical Complex of Split with the Palac.
Few cities have grown inside a palace, but Split did exactly that. Around the year 300 the Roman emperor Diocletian, born in nearby Salona, built himself a vast fortified retirement residence on the shore of the Adriatic, a rectangle of walls, towers and gates. When Salona was sacked in the seventh century, refugees moved into the palace, and over the following centuries they turned its halls and corridors into streets and houses. The result is a living old town where medieval and Renaissance homes lean on Roman walls and washing hangs between ancient columns.
