Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split Country Croatia Denomination Roman Catholic Architecture Style Ancient/Romanesque Years built 4th century Clergy The Cathedral of Saint Domnius (Croatian: Katedrala Svetog Duje), known locally as the Sveti Dujam or colloquially Sveti Duje, is the Catholic cathedral in Split, Croatia. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Split-Makarska, headed by Archbishop Marin Barišić. The Cathedral of St. Domnius 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 Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius. The Cathedral of Saint Domnius, consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century). The structure itself, built in AD 3

The views of the old town and Diocletian palace from bell tower was amazing and St. Dominus is a must see for its historical value and unique architectural design.

The a 28-foot tall statue of Grgur Ninski (Gregory of Nin) by Ivan Meštrović is located just outside the North Gate of Diocletian’s Palace, and you simply do not want to miss this massive piece of art when you visit the palace. If you do not enter from the north gate, go to the Peristyle (center of the palace), face north and keep walking until you reach the north gate. The statue is right outside. Gregory of Nin was a medieval Croatian bishop of Nin who strongly opposed the Pope and official members of the church, and introduced the national language in the religious services after the Great Assembly in 926. Until that time, services were held only in Latin and not understandable to a majority of the population. The statue was originally erected in 1929 in the Peristyle of Diocletian’s Palace and was moved outside the city by Italian occupying forces. In 1954, it was re-erected in its current location. One characteristic of Meštrović’s work are elongated fingers on his figures and that is very apparent on the Gregory of Nin sculpture. It is said that if you make a wish for the common good and rub the toe of the statue, the wish will come true. As you might guess, the toe has been worn smooth and shiny. Meštrović’s works can be found all over Croatia; however, the greatest collection of his work is located in his gallery and chapel that are in Split’s Marjan Park, only about a 30 minute walk from the giant statue. The gallery is exceptional. You will be glad if you make the effort to visit them.

As you drive the Split/Dubrovnik road you will see this, and wonder. Take the time to visit Podgora (nice little town, good beach and marina). The memorial is so worth visiting. But don't go in ignorance - read the story first and you will understand the broken wings allegory, and the reflections on the brutality of war.
