St. Michael’s Fortress hosts two stages on SHIP Festival, DECK and HULL. The PORTSIDE location, where our friends and partners are hosting receptions, also sits on the fortress.
This fortress, the oldest of the four in Šibenik, along with the Cathedral of St. James, represents one of the city’s most important cultural and historical monuments. The fortress, from which Šibenik originated, was first mentioned in historical documents in 1066.
After the renovation, visitors are now able to tour all the walls and towers with the help of an audio guide, and for the first time, the underground spaces have been opened where 3D mapping projections can be seen. The fortress also gained a modern open-air stage with 1,077 seats, oriented towards the sea, offering a breathtaking view of Šibenik and the Šibenik archipelago.
St. Michael’s Fortress has become an exclusive location for unique events that have already positioned Šibenik as one of the leading concert destinations in Croatia. In addition to SHIP Festival performers, this stage has hosted concerts by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Lorde, BADBADNOTGOOD, Air, Bonobo, Kings of Convenience, Sigur Rós, Michael Kiwanuka, The National, and many others.
Ova tvrđava, najstarija od sve četiri u Šibeniku, uz katedralu sv. Jakova, predstavlja jedan od najvažnijih kulturno-povijesnih spomenika grada. Tvrđava, iz koje je potekao Šibenik, prvi put se spominje u povijesnim dokumentima 1066. Godine. Nakon obnove, posjetiteljima je omogućen obilazak svih zidina i kula uz audio vodič, a po prvi put su otvoreni i podzemni prostori gdje se mogu vidjeti 3D mapping projekcije. Tvrđava je dobila i modernu pozornicu na otvorenom s 1077 sjedećih mjesta, okrenutu prema moru, s koje se pruža prekrasan pogled na Šibenik i šibenski arhipelag.
Tvrđava sv. Mihovila postala je ekskluzivna lokacija za jedinstvene događaje koji su već pozicionirali Šibenik kao jednu od vodećih koncertnih destinacija u Hrvatskoj. Osim izvođača SHIP Festivala na ovoj su pozornici koncerte održali i King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Lorde, BADBADNOTGOOD, Air, Bonobo, Kings of Convenience, Sigur Rós, Michael Kiwanuka, The National i brojni drugi.
