Gallery Museum & A Trip to Klis

Start your day in Split with a visit to the Meštrović Gallery, located in the former home of Croatia’s renowned sculptor Ivan Meštrović. The gallery displays a wide range of his work, including sculptures, drawings, and sketches from across his career. Walking through the rooms, you can see how his style developed over time and learn about the influences behind his pieces. In the afternoon, travel a short distance to Klis Fortress, a medieval stronghold situated on a hill above Split. Walk along the fortress walls and take in the views of the city, the surrounding countryside, and the Adriatic Sea. The site offers a clear sense of its strategic importance over the centuries, as well as the effort involved in its construction and maintenance. After exploring the fortress, return to Split for some free time to enjoy the city at your own pace. You might stroll along the waterfront, visit a café, or return to the old town to see parts of the city you haven’t yet explored. The day combines art, history, and scenic views, providing a well-rounded experience of the Split area.
