View of the mausoleum

Built from 1920 to 1921, this octagonal white-stone tomb is the handiwork of preeminent Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. Inside, a heavenly host of angelic faces gazes down on stylised saints. It's located in the town cemetery, in the wooded area near the peak of the peninsula.
