Secret Split is a walk through a part of the city most visitors never reach—neighbourhoods built after World War II, when a new vision for life, space, and society was being tested in concrete.
You’ll hear the story of Split 3, a socialist urban plan that was once a utopian experiment—and ended up featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
We’ll walk through a city within a city—a fully pedestrian zone, built for community, for children, for daily life. You’ll hear about the architects who shaped it, what they believed in, and how that belief still shapes how people live here today.

Architecture of Split 3 Featured in MoMA's "Toward a Concrete Utopia" Exhibition. New York 2018.
“Built in the 1970s, Split 3—an expansion of the Croatian city of Split—was one of the last large-scale urban planning schemes in Yugoslavia and one of its most ambitious and successful. It combined megastructure housing blocks with careful attention to pedestrian streets, which were conceived as a forum for urban life, and a mixture of spaces for living, work, and leisure.
Providing housing for approximately fifty thousand new residents, the massive undertaking was praised internationally for its communal and public space and its integration into the existing terrain,” said MoMA
