Marjan is the 178m hill that rises on a peninsula to the west of Split in Croatia. The hill is now mostly parkland with pine trees covering some 340 hectares. Some of the old town encroaches up the eastern slopes with very narrow alleyways, and along part of the southern shore. On the hill are archaeological remains that pre-date even the Romans, who built a temple to Diana, goddess of hunting, on the western tip of Marjan.

The Marjan viewpoint is about 10 minutes walk up some steps from the western side of Split Harbour. At this viewpoint is a cafe with covered seating outside and a beautiful view over the city to the ease, including the harbour, Diocletian's Palace from which the Bell Tower next to Split Cathedral rises prominently, and surrounding hills.
