Gregory of Nin (Grgur Ninski)

In Split, Croatia, the iconic Gregory of Nin (Grgur Ninski) statue stands as a tribute to the medieval bishop who championed the use of the Croatian language. Created by sculptor Ivan Meštrović and erected in 1929, this 27-foot (8.5-meter) bronze figure is a prominent landmark. The statue’s imposing presence invites visitors to engage with history, and many have made it a tradition to rub the shiny toe of the sculpture for good luck.
