The story of Marjan Hill

Marjan is a forested hill covering the western end of the Split peninsula, protected as a park since the early 20th century. Locals call it "the lungs of the city".

Paths lead past small medieval chapels and hermitages carved into the rock, down to swimming coves such as Kašjuni and Bene.
