LESSONS FOR A GOOD AND BENEFICIAL HOLIDAY ACCORDING TO THE MODELS OF THE OLD MASTERS Travel is characteristic to all living beings. Even the tiniest plant seed travels, blown by the wind or carried by an animal to its new habitat, animals migrate from one place to another in search of food, water or their former habitation… The winds and waters travel, and light travels…. Man too travels. But the travels and journeys of humankind are different from those set by the life force common to all living beings, for people travel so as, by observing the world and learning more of it, to find out more about themselves. People set out in order to come back. Become acquainted with the world abroad to know themselves. The whole world is to man an open book that has no ending, in which there is always something interesting, necessary and desirable to be found. It is our hope that on your travels around this part of the blue planet you will become familiar with people whose lives and works have left a lasting stamp, visible to those who know something of them. Dear guests and friends, All the persons after whom our rooms are named are travelling from their time to eternity, for they have left a trace that is recognisable beneath this sky and on these shores, they travel and, in this way or that, are linked with words and writing. In a city with a millennial history, with a surrounding that is much older than the city itself even, it was hard to choose just eight persons, and there is much more to know about all of them than is given here. At the end, in the eight rooms you will get to known nine persons, for we could not and did not want to separate a celebrated pair of lovers in Split, whose names are borne by one of the rooms. We were guided by the wish that you might find out a little about the people, the men and the women, to whom just a word or two will be devoted in the tourist guides, for a single human life is too short get to know all the famous people who lived and created in Split and environs. A second wish of ours was to introduce you to people from different eras. And a third desire was to give you a hint to search out the hidden nooks, by legend or historical facts, connected with these persons and so to take with you a little of the soul of this city: the fragrance and murmuring of the pines and the sea, the colour of the sky and a pebble or two from the beach, as well as the invaluable and lasting blessing of knowledge and general culture – memories that will enhance the time in front of you. - Empress Aelia Galla Placidia, with whom we can link the conversion of the Small Temple (most often called Jupiter’s) into a Christian church, dedicated to St John, which turned in the early Middle Ages into the baptistery of Split Cathedral. - Kolafisa a one-time duchess, wife of the mighty duke of Split, Ivan Cetinski Frankopan, whose donations made possible the building of the campanile of the cathedral. - Prisca, wife of Emperor Diocletian. - Roko and Cicibela, an uncommon pair of lovers who in their time excited the attention of the tourists of the period and numerous literary works. - Queen Helen,medieval queen from the time of the Croatian national rulers, woman who in spite of her royal status was “mother of the orphans”, or in today’s terms, a woman who gave much to charity. - Marko Marulić - Humanist, the father of Croatian literature, the precursor of the celebrated Renaissance artists of Croatia - Vid Morpurgo, - man whose great-grandparents were newcomers in Split, while he dedicated the whole of his life and wealth to this magical city and its inhabitants - Ivan Meštrović, - a highly versatile artist as well as controversial individual, the creator of several unforgettable and impressive sculptures (see his statue of Marko Marulić on Voćni trg – the Fruit Square) and of poetically refined reliefs (see those in Split’s Kaštelet).

POUKE ZA DOBAR I BLAGOTVORAN ODMOR PREMA PRIMJERIMA STARIH MAJSTORA Putovanje je svojstveno svim živim bićima: i najsitnija sjemenka kakve biljke putuje nošena vjetrom ili životinjom do svojega novog staništa, životinje se sele s jednoga na drugo mjesto u potrazi za hranom, vodom ili starim zavičajem… Putuju i vjetrovi i vode, i svjetlost putuje… I čovjek putuje. No tek se čovjekovo putovanje razlikuje od onoga zadana istom životnom silom koja je zajednička svim živim bićima, jer čovjek putuje da gledajući svijet i učeći o njemu, sazna više o samu sebi. Čovjek odlazi da bi se vratio. Čovjek upoznaje strani svijet da bi upoznao sebe. Sav je svijet čovjeku otvorena knjiga koja nema završetka, u kojoj se iznova pronalaze zanimljivi, potrebni i poželjni sadržaji. Želimo Vam da na svojemu putovanju ovim dijelom modroga planeta upoznate neke ljude koji su svojim životom i djelima utisnuli trajan pečat, vidljiv onima koji znaju nešto o njima. Dragi gosti i prijatelji, sve osobe po kojima naše sobe nose imena na putu su iz svojega vremena prema vječnosti jer ostavile su trag prepoznatljiv pod ovim nebom i na ovim obalama, putuju i – na ovaj su ili na onaj način – povezane s riječju, s knjigom. U gradu s tisućljetnom povijesti, s okolicom mnogo starijom i od grada sama, teško je bilo odabrati samo osam osoba o kojima vrijedi znati mnogo više nego što smo Vam ovdje ponudili. Na koncu, uz osam soba upoznat ćete devet osoba – jer nismo ni mogli ni htjeli razdvojiti najčuveniji splitski ljubavni par, čije ime nosi jedna soba. Vodili smo se željom da saznate ponešto o onim osobama, ženama i muškarcima, o kojima će Vam turistički vodiči reći tek pokoju riječ, jer je i jedan ljudski život prekratak da bi se upoznali znameniti ljudi koji su živjeli i stvarali u Splitu i njegovoj okolici. Druga je naša želja bila da Vam predstavimo osobe iz različitih povijesnih epoha. Treća je naša želja da Vas potaknemo da potražite skrivene kutke, legendom ili povijesnim činjenicama, povezane s ovim osobama i da tako, sa sobom ponesete duh ovoga grada: miris i šum splitskih borova i mora, boju neba i pokoji oblutak sa žala te neprocjenjivo i trajno blago znanja i opće kulture – uspomene koje će oplemeniti vrijeme koje je pred Vama. - Carica Aelia Galla Placidia, za koju možemo vezati i konverziju Maloga hrama (najčešće ga zovemo Jupitrovim) u kršćansku crkvu posvećenu sv. Ivanu, koja će u ranom srednjem vijeku postati krstionica splitske katedrale - Kolafisa bijaše kneginja, žena silenoga splitskog kneza Ivana Cetinskog Frankopana, jedna od donatorica gradnje zvonika katedrale - Priska, supruga cara Dioklecijana - Roko i Cicibela, neobični i opjevani splitski ljubavni par koji je i u svoje vrijeme izazivao pozornost ondašnjih turista - Kraljica Jelena,srednjovjekovna kraljica iz doba hrvatskih narodnih vladara, ženu koja je usprkos svojemu kraljevskom statusu bila „majka sirota'' i današnjim rječnikom rečeno – bila prava humanitarka - Marko Marulić,humanist, otac hrvatske književnosti, prethodnik znamenitih hrvatskih renesansnih umjetnika - Vid Morpurgo, čovjek čiji su pradjedovi došli u Split, a on je sav svoj život i imutak posvetio upravo ovomu čarobnomu gradu i ljudima u njemu - Ivan Meštrović, svestrani likovni umjetnik i kontroverzna osoba, autor nezaboravnih i dojmljivih skulptura (pogledajte njegov kip Voćnomu trgu) i poetski rafiniranih reljefa (pogledajte one u splitskomu Kašteletu).
