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.

I am simply thrilled with this place. It is a bit tiring to get to the top of the hill but when you come up and see the beautiful panorama you will see that it is worth it.

This city center is dominated by a statue of the 19th-century governor of Croatia, which was removed by Tito in 1947 but restored in 1990 as an act of defiance.

I reached this main square traveling by tram from Bus station as my hotel is located just at walkable distance. An exciting and invigorating place to wander around, relax and explore the beautiful Zagreb from here. There is an imposing huge sculpture of Count Jelacic, a national hero, in whose memory the Square is named. The signages at one corner guide travellers with suitable directions to visit all the important Museums and other places of interest. With newspaper stands , cafes, icecream shops, all types of eateries, tram station,temporary market, cathedral and entrance point to famous Dolac, this is a true Centre that no one can miss.

The monument was done by Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn. It was placed at the square in 1866 and removed during communisst authorities in 1947. Returned in 1990 - unveiled on October 16th - Ban Jelačić's birthday. Josip Jelačić is considered Croatian national hero. This is point from where you would usually start sightseeing of Zagreb. This monument is one of the main symbols of Zagreb. It is "must see" in Zagreb.
