Why it is worth your time
Right by the Golden Gate, in the building of the former city hospital, this gallery spans Croatian art from old icons to the present day. You meet names like Vlaho Bukovac and Split's own Emanuel Vidović, whose hazy harbour scenes show the city as it once was. A quiet counterpoint to the crowds in the palace lanes a few steps away.
Croatia Atlas tip
Combine it with the Grgur Ninski statue at the Golden Gate and rub its polished toe for luck.
