Marjan, Forest park near Varoš, Split, Croatia.
Marjan rises 178 meters above Split's western edge, encompassing dense Mediterranean pine forests that extend across multiple districts of the coastal city.
The area has functioned as a public recreational space since the 3rd century, when Emperor Diocletian organized sections into parks for palace residents.
The hill contains the Church of St Nicholas from the 13th century and the Church of St Jerome from the 15th century with carved altars by Andrija Aleši.
The park features marked trails for hiking and running, multiple beaches including Obojena, Kašjuni, and Bene, plus tennis courts and designated picnic areas.
Renaissance hermitage caves carved into the cliffs served as dwellings for religious individuals during the 15th century, creating a network of historic shelters.
