  • Cathedral of Saint Domnius - The Cathedral of Saint Domniu, founded at the end of the 7th century AD, is the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world. It still has its original structure, which will be renovated later.
  • Grgur Ninski Statue - The monumental statue of Grgur Ninski takes place in the center of the main Split square. He was a famous archbishop of Nin, an ancient capital of Croatia. He defied the Roman Catholic Church, which opposed his call to introduce religious services in the national language of the country.
  • Prokurative - The building of the Prokurativa was found by Antonio Bajamonti in the mid-19th century. Its foundation was supported by Italian tradition, with all its charm. There are Venetian-style colonnades and reliefs above the windows evoking ancient and Renaissance influences.
