Many people still refer to the square as the Fruit Square, because it was here that the huge fruit and vegetable market was held up until the 1960s. Today Milesi palace, north side, an 18C Baroque building, can still be seen. You will also see Ivan Meštrovic's statue of the poet, Marko Marulic (1450-1524), who was born in Split. Finally look out for the Venetian castel (1435) which was part of the defence system created under the Venetians to withstand the Turks.
