About this audio guide
This guide to Firule Beach in Split goes back to nineteen oh four, when this sandy cove belonged not to bathers but to the city's hospital for contagious disease. You'll meet the nurses, doctors and orderlies whose daily rounds ran along this shoreline, and hear where the cove's unexpected name actually comes from. It closes back on the sand, with a quiet thought about who gets to walk into this water.
