Church of St Anne and Cemetery, Šibenik

In the Šibenik cemetery, in Šibenik-Knin County, stands the church of St Anne. For a visitor exploring the town it offers a look at Baroque building with the occasional Gothic trace.

The church is first mentioned in the 15th century, and its present form is Baroque from the 17th century. It extends from northeast to southwest. The ground plan is irregular, with a rectangular nave, and the apse cannot be seen from outside. A porch on two piers and four columns is attached to the façade, covered with a wooden roof with curved pantiles. Beside the sanctuary is a two-storey sacristy, taller than the nave. Above the nave is a wooden ceiling and roof structure, and the sanctuary has a barrel vault. The building is of stone, and all façades except the main one are plastered.

The church and cemetery are a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-2014.
