Building

[edit]

Siverić-Split line, the first railway line in Dalmatia, was built between 1874-6 to enable the exploitation of coal pits near Siverić and facilitate its export via Split harbor. A branch from Perković to Šibenik was built to connect the coal mines with Šibenik harbor as well. Šibenik station was built from stone in May 1877 in historicist style with elements of neorenaissance.[1] The complex also includes a train depot and a water stop, previously serving steam locomotives.
