One of many popular city squares in the old town. It features the statue of Marko Marulić, the famous Croatian writer, built by Ivan Meštrović. The square was once used as a green market where people would sell fruit, vegetables and other produce.

One of the most beautiful squares in the city is locally known by its unofficial name the Fruit Square, rather than by its official name – Trg brace Radic. Its popular name is derived from the fact that it used to be a noisy and colourful market where women from the surrounding villages sold their fruit. The south-west tower of Diocletian’s palace is located at the exit of the Fruit Square onto the Riva waterfront. The central part of the square is occupied by a monument to the “father” of Croatian literature, Marko Marulić from Split, who was one of the most important intellectuals at the turn of the 15th and 16th century and whose works were read by the English King Henry VIII and the Spanish King Charles V.

Walking from Pjaca Square to Riva promenade following narrow Split streets you’ll come across of the small square, officially called ‘Rodic Square’ but locally known as Fruit Square (Vocni Trg). Today there are no signs of fruit stands but the name is still commonly used by local people. On the west side of the square rises, the octagonal tower, built by the Venetians who feared the local revolts and the Turkish raids. On the opposite side of the tower there is a spectacular palace Milesi with a fascinating Baroque facade the witnesses of the traditional Dalmatian architecture. In front of the palace stands the statue of Marko Marulic, father of the Croatian literature from the 15th century, carved in bronze by the hand of Ivan Mestrovic, the greatest Croatian sculptor.

Believe it or not, but this square, maybe the most beautiful one in the city, to the citizens of Split is more familiar under its unofficial rather than its official name of Trg Braće Radić (Square of the Radić brothers). Its "familiar" name comes from the fact that it was once home to the bustling and colourful market where women from the surrounding villages came to sell their fruit. On the neighbouring square, west of the Fruit Square, fruit was sold. There are several landmarks decorating this not so large a square thriving with city life in bars, restaurants and exclusive shops, a venue often used also by fairs. The biggest is certainly the octagonal Venetian tower, the leftover of the former fortress, built in the 15th century for the defence of, at the time, a small town. Opposite the tower is a magnificent Palace of the old family Milesi from the 17th century with a spectacular Baroque facade, one of the best examples of that style in the whole of Dalmatia. Just in front of it stands the monument to the father of the Croatian literature, the citizen of Split, Marko Marulić, who was one of the most important philosophers and intellectuals of the 15th century. The author of the monument, as well as of several others in the city is Ivan Meštrović.
