One of Split's most recognizable landmarks, this towering work makes a strong impression when you gaze at it. Sculpted by Croatia's most celebrated artist, Ivan Mestrovic, the statue is of Grgur Ninski or Gregory of Nin, the 10th-century bishop who insisted on the right to use Croatian in liturgical services. Rubbing his big toe is said to bring good luck.
