Grgur Ninski

Grgur Ninski is one of the most valuable sculptures made by Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. Sculpture was made in bronze and intended to be placed in Split, but the autor wasn't satisfied with it's height so it was contributed to Varazdin in 1931. Grgur Ninski was the most important bishop of Nin and chancellor of Croatian royal court.
The spot where the culpture is placed today was chosen by the author himself. A bigger and a little different version of this sculpture is in Split.
