Galeria Mestrovic
The Galeria Mestrovic is a museum dedicated to the Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, housed in his former villa on the western waterfront. Entry is a modest fee. The villa, the garden with bronze sculptures, and the sea views from the terrace make it one of the most pleasant cultural stops in Split. Budget travelers walk from the old town along the coast, visit the gallery, and continue to Marjan Hill.
