The promenade of Split Olympians

The promenade of Split Olympians holds a long row of bronze plaques embedded directly into the stone ground. Each one marks a local athlete who earned an Olympic medal, starting with the first winners from the early twentieth century. These plaques turn the walkway into a public record of decades of intense physical achievement. Swimmers, water polo players, and rowers who grew up in these neighborhoods are honored here, keeping their names under the feet of everyone passing by on the way to the sea.
