Kučine, Solin

Kučine is a residential settlement in Split-Dalmatia that sits on the southern slopes of Mosor Mountain, spreading across hilly terrain between Split, Solin, and Žrnovnica. The village is woven into a larger network of coastal towns that shape the settlement pattern of the Split region.

Kučine first appeared in written records in 1144 when a priest named Crnota issued a charter documenting properties in the area. This early mention shows the region was already economically and religiously organized during the medieval period.

Saint Luke church serves as a gathering place where locals come together for religious celebrations and community events throughout the year. This church shapes the spiritual life of residents and remains an important meeting point in the village center.

The settlement is well connected by public transportation, particularly through regular bus services that link it to Split and surrounding towns. This transportation access makes it easy to explore the area at your own pace or take day trips to nearby places.

The legendary site known as Kekova kućica is said to have a connection to the birth story of Emperor Diocletian, linking the village to the wider ancient history of the region. This local tradition keeps alive a memory of the area's role in Roman times.
