About this audio guide
This guide to Radic Brothers Square, Split's old Fruit Square, opens beneath the bronze statue of Renaissance writer Marko Marulic, the father of Croatian literature. Beyond his European fame, you will hear a local legend passed down for five centuries: a shared mistress, a neighbor from the Papalic family, and an arrangement between two noblemen that went wrong one night at a bedroom window. Best heard looking up at his statue, then across to the octagonal Venetian tower behind it.
