This walking tour is a unique blend of a classic stroll through Split’s historic center and a special focus on its rich Catholic heritage.
Together we’ll uncover the story of the Croats—who already accepted Christianity at the time of Emperor Heraclius—whose history has been deeply intertwined with Christianity and Catholicism from the very beginning.
In 90 minutes, we’ll explore the city’s ancient and medieval heart: the arrival of the Romans, the legacy of Emperor Diocletian, our beloved patron Saint Domnius, and the centuries of faith that shaped Split.
Along the way, we’ll wander narrow stone alleys, discover hidden corners, and admire the many beautiful churches that grace the old town.
Come walk with me, feel the spirit of faith and history come alive, and make your visit to Split truly unforgettable. Book your Catholic walking tour today—I can’t wait to welcome you!
