St. Duje's cathedral

It also has a beautiful belltower which provides you a great panoramic view of Split, nearby islands and Marjan hill.
Beautiful belltower which provides you a great panoramic view of Split, nearby islands and Marjan hill. The ascent is certainly not for those with vertigo, but the views from the top are marvelous. It costs €1.40 to go up the bell tower.
Cathedral's baptistry
Ancient Roman temple which became St. John's church.
It is the smallest park in Split, situated in the Diocletian's palace at the Dominisova street (Marko Antonio De Dominis street). In that park are beautiful traditional Dalmatian tiramolas. During the summer these are full of clothes drying in the sunshine. In every guidebook about Split you have pictures from the Getski vrtal. It is the location of a 500-year-old stone house which was destroyed during World War II.
The gallery contains works of Ivan Meštrović, famous Croatian sculptor.
