Temple of Jupiter/Baptistry of St. John

The Temple of Jupiter was constructed between 295 to 304 AD while the palace was being built. In the 6th century, it was converted into the Baptistry of St. John. This statue of St. John was completed by Croatian artist Ivan Mestrovic. The oldest representation of Croatian King Peter Krešimir IV is engraved on one of the marble rood screens. Also pictured is an entrance to the temple and the ceiling. Lastly, we included a picture of the sunset as we made our way out of Split's harbor.Baca lagi
