SPLIT, 7 September 2024 – A new tourist attraction was opened in the Croatian city of Split on Saturday.

Perched atop Marjan Hill, the new 19-metre tall observation deck offers a panoramic view of Split, one of Croatia’s most stunning cities, along with a sweeping vista of the nearby islands, vibrant nature, and awe-inspiring landscapes.

The observation deck is now open to the public, and was officially unveiled with the slogan, “And look at the beauty! What a beauty!”
