occupies a special position.
The cultural and entertainment

particularly in the summer, when

stage. The Split Summer, a traditional
festival in the middle of the summer
season, includes dramas, operas
and concerts (from mid-July to
mid-August).
The Split Saturday
Nights are de-voted to classical
music. Split also hosts pop-music

shows, the folk feast Day of
Radunica, and many other. Split is also a major sports centre
(the 1979 Mediterranean Games)
with many famous and popular sports
clubs and competitors.
