Om

Hurtige fakta: Placeret på toppen af Marjan-bakken tilbyder denne lille middelalderkirke imponerende udsigter over Splits røde tage og Adriaterhavskysten. Bygningen fra det 15. århundrede er dedikeret til Sankt Merkur, en kristen martyr og de rejsendes skytshelgen.

Højdepunkter: I modsætning til Splits overfyldte gamle bydel ligger denne kirke i næsten total stilhed omgivet af fyrreskove, kun med vinden og cikaderne som selskab. Fra dens terrasse kan du se færger glide ind og ud af havnen, mens klokkerne fra Diocletians palads ekko op ad bjergsiden.

Insidertips

Wear sturdy walking shoes for the steep stone path up through the pine forest.
Visit just before sunset for the warmest light over Split's rooftops and the islands beyond.
Bring binoculars to spot nearby islands like Brač and Šolta from the church terrace.
Combine your walk with a swim at Bene Beach on Marjan's southern side to cool off afterward.
