The monument to Gregory of Nin is the most famous Split monument dedicated to Bishop Gregory of Nin. It is located in front of the northern entrance to Diocletian's Palace. Gregory of Nin was, as his name suggests, the bishop of the Nin diocese. He ruled at the beginning of the 10th century, and in history he was remembered as an ardent defender of the right to use the Croatian language and script in the service of Mass. Gregory was remembered by the people as a hero. His monument was erected on the Peristyle in 1929, despite the great displeasure of some citizens of Split. In 1954, the monument was moved to its current location between the Golden Gate and the Garden.
