This square was once a bustling and colourful market where women from the surrounding villages came to sell their fruit. Now the square is mainly a tourist area connecting to the city's main sites of interest. I never say any fruit markets when I was here, but there was a fruit market over in Pazar to the east. Plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants in the square.

The square when we went in early March 2023 was pretty empty, no fruit in sight or markets out. It was pretty much empty and had no real soul as it was not the tourist season. It might be better in summer but wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

The square has several names and to the citizens of Split is more familiar under its unofficial name Fruit Square, rather than its official name of Trg Braće Radić (Square of the Radić brothers). Its "familiar" name comes from the fact that it was once home to the bustling and colourful market where women from the surrounding villages came to sell their fruit. There are several landmarks decorating this not so large a square thriving with city life in bars, restaurants and exclusive shops, a venue often used also by fairs. The biggest is certainly the octagonal Venetian tower, the leftover of the former fortress, built in the 15th century for the defence of, at the time, a small town. Opposite the tower is a magnificent Palace of the old family Milesi from the 17th century with a spectacular Baroque facade, one of the best examples of that style in the whole of Dalmatia. Just in front of it stands the monument by Ivan Meštrović to the father of the Croatian literature, the citizen of Split, Marko Marulić, who was one of the most important philosophers and intellectuals of the 15th century.

It's know as fruit market to the locals as it was there in the past. It's nice square with Milesi Palace and Venetian tower in the corner. There is also statue of a Croatian poet from the 15th century created by Ivan Meštrović who's museum of art is also in Split. And we found there also a very good ice cream shop.
