DESCRIPTION:
Wow, what a night. There is no Split without me and no me without Split. After sailing across the Adriatic in a catamaran we find our booked apartment relax a bit then hit the night life. They've upped the party scene since the last time I was here but the RIva is just as I left it and the beaches and the islands are still some of the best. But first let's talk about the name Split... Victoria Modri? (courtesy of Let's Talk Radio) Orgin of the name Split Cathedral of St. Duje The Cathedral of St. Duje is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; strictly the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Duje. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Duje. St. Duke is the patron saint of Split, who was a 3rd century Bishop of Salona. Victoria Modri? (courtesy of Let's Talk Radio) History of Diocletian's Palace People's Square / Narodni Trg People's Square is a 15th century square with several architecturally-worthy buildings such as Renaissance, Gothic and Venetian. The Town Hall is also located in the square. Gregory of Nin Gregory of Nin was a medieval Croatian bishop who strongly opposed the Pope and official circles of the Church and introduced the Croatian language in the religious services after the Great Assembly in 926. Until that time, services were held only in Latin and not understood by the majority of the population. Not only was this important for Croatian language and culture but it also made the religion stronger within the Croatian kingdom. This statue of Gregory of Nin by Ivan Me?trovi? is a heavily trafficked tourist site, which the toe of the statue shows. Rubbing the statue's toe is said to bring good luck and has been worn smooth and shiny as a result. Till next time...
