SIBENIK:The town is first documented in 1066 as Castrum Sebenici.In the 12th Century it came under Hungarian-Croat rule.Between 1412 and 1797 it was ruled by Venetians,and the old centre acquired grand buildings and three large forts as well as bastions on the island of St.Nicholas.Venetian rule gave way to a brief period of French occupation until Austria took over and ruled until 1917.The recent war brought about the collapse of local industry however,and mass unemployment.
