Gardens and Parks of Split Origin and Development of Split’s Landscape Architecture
Ana Grgić
Abstract
This review of Split’s landscape architecture points to a fundamental role of parks and gardens in the town’s urban development. The most significant parks and gardens in the history of Split’s landscape architecture were designed in the 19th century on the sites of the 17th century curtain walls. Due to excessive construction and lack of appropriate care most of them were devastated or even vanished until the mid 20th century.
