The Grgur Ninski statue is a towering bronze sculpture by Ivan Meštrović depicting Bishop Gregory of Nin, who championed the use of the Croatian language in church services in the 10th century. Its gleaming golden toe, polished by thousands of wishful touches, is Split's most iconic selfie spot.
Meštrović created the statue in 1929 for the 1,000th anniversary of the Synod of Split. Originally placed in the Peristyle, it was removed by Italian forces during World War II and relocated to its current position outside the Golden Gate in 1957.
