Cliffside Churches

Split is basically located between the Adriatic Sea and some very large hills/mountains. If you climb to the top of the closest hill, you get a spectacular view of the city and the sea. In fact, I watched a FIFA game at a café at the top, while enjoying a spectacular sunset.

There are also several churches set into the cliffs, which aren't common spots to attend mass, since the only way up is by foot. Tea and her family only go to one for Christmas eve mass.

If you look close, you can see the cliff churches

Ahhh sea

Church number 1
