Monastery and church of St. Anthony

About this audio guide

This guide to the Monastery and Church of St. Anthony in Split follows the Thirteen Tuesdays, a weekly devotion each spring that locals believe must run unbroken or start over from the first Tuesday. It traces the tradition back to a 1457 papal bull promising forgiveness to visitors who came bearing something for the sanctuary's construction, and to the square tower raised in the 1500s against Ottoman raids. You'll pass the cloister's old tombstones, the Marulić name among them, on the same paths worshippers still walk.
