Church of Our Lady of Health

Located on the square next to the Croatian National Theatre, this site is a religious complex featuring a modern white sanctuary paired with an older Baroque bell tower.

Getting There

The church is situated within the eastern side of the city center. From the main pedestrian areas of Split, it is a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Allow roughly 30 to 60 minutes to view the sanctuary and browse the monastery's gallery.
