In the 15th century, [[Croatia in personal union with Hungary|Croatia]] was divided into three states: the northern and central part of Croatia and [[Slavonia]] were in union with the [[Kingdom of Hungary]], while [[Venetian Dalmatia|Dalmatia]], with the exception of the independent [[Republic of Ragusa]], was under the rule of the [[Venetian Republic]]. The [[Šibenik Cathedral|Cathedral of St James]] in [[Šibenik]], was begun in 1441 in the Gothic style by [[Giorgio da Sebenico]] ''(Juraj Dalmatinac)''. Its unusual construction does not use mortar, the stone blocks, [[pilaster]]s and [[ribs]] being bonded with [[joints]] and [[Groove (engineering)|slots]] in the way that was usual in wooden constructions. In 1477 the work was unfinished, and continued under [[Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino]], who respected the mode of construction and the plan of the former architect, but continued the work which includes the upper windows, the vaults and the dome, in the Renaissance style. The combination of a high barrel vault with lower half-barrel vaults over the aisles the gives the façade its distinctive [[trefoil]] shape, the first of this type in the region.<ref>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090506013344/http://www.sibenik.hr/vodic-eng/sibenik/kulturno_povijesna_bastina2.asp |archive-date=6 May 2009 |url=http://www.sibenik.hr/vodic-eng/sibenik/kulturno_povijesna_bastina2.asp |title=St James's Cathedral}}</ref> The cathedral was listed as a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage List]] in 2001.
