About this audio guide
This guide to Matejuška, Split's sheltered fishing cove, follows Roko Ljubica, a local fisherman, and Dujka Bašić, the young woman from Veli Varoš known to her neighbors as Cicela, after they married in 1906 with no means to house themselves. You'll hear how the couple solved that problem by moving into a rotten, abandoned boat tied up right here, sealing its leaks with fistfuls of cement, and raising a dog named Belina inside it. Stand among today's working boats and drying nets to picture that improvised home.
