Jane Cody, who is holidaying in England at the moment, wrote an article on her blog, Croatia Online, regarding Split’s renown Renaissance author Marko Marulić’s influence on England’s Henry VIII.

Jane does her self an injustice – describing her blog as not an in depth cultural resource on Croatia – her prose and subjects are definitely more professional than ours! Please have a read.

The picture above is of the statue of Marko Marulić in Voćni Trg in Split, by Split’s other famous artistic son, sculptor Ivan Meštrović. We always point it out during our Walking Tour of the old town.

Jane notes that Marulić is buried in Split’s Franciscan Monastery – the church and his tomb are shown above.

The Franciscan Monastery is the site of another of Split’s landmarks – our Modrulj Laundrette – and the church is our landlord.
