Day 21 Split Museum of Art and Jews in Split

We are really enjoying our Art Nouveau hotel in Split.




In the square next to ours is a statue of the father of Croatian Literature, Marko Marulic.


I spent the morning at the Split Museum of Art.  There were more Ignjat Job paintings that I have seen in other cities.




Here is a drawing called "refugees" that I thought was really powerful.


A photographer put some sheep in the peristyle area of the Diocletian Palace. Split is known for its shepherds--pretty funny.


We had lunch at Kitchen 5 again.  Check out this bottle of wine.



I also went on a Jewish tour of Split and learned of the presence of Jews in Diocletian's place since the third century.  I visited the synagogue which is the third oldest synagogue still in use in Europe.



It was really nice talking with guide Lea and her father.



After dinner last night when we were walking along the sea, we finally saw our first Dalmatian in Dalmatia.
