Jesuit Monastery and Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Split

The Jesuit Residence of the Sacred Heart stands on Manuška Poljana, a few minutes on foot from the northern edge of Diocletian's Palace. It remains a residence and novitiate of the Society of Jesus, making it a living religious institution rather than simply a historic building. For visitors, it works best as part of a walk through Manuš, where the fabric of the old centre gives way to later Split. The exterior and church should be approached with respect for their active religious role. It particularly suits travellers interested in sacred heritage beyond the familiar circuit of the cathedral, Peristyle and Marjan churches.
