Balkans Road Trip: Day 7 – Split and Dubrovnik
There were a few things we did not get to see yesterday in Split due to our late arrival. After buying our breakfast from a local bakery, therefore, we made a visit to Saint Domnius Cathedral. A service had just ended there, and the lights were being turned off as we walked in, but at least we had a moment to enjoy the sacred space all by ourselves. An interesting feature of the exterior is that at the foot of the western gate stand two lions, one of them trampling a lamb. I am not quite sure what that is meant to evoke but it seems perverse.
