Culture

The route includes Kuk Fortress, which served as a defensive position against the Turks. The fortress stood on the old border between Klis and Split and was contested between the Venetians and the Turks.

The local cemetery in Kučine contains the Church of St. Luke. Based on an inscription above the entrance, it is considered to date from the pre-Ottoman period. The small Church of St. Luke in Kučine is dated to the 12th or 13th century and is associated with the Brotherhood of St. Luke, documented since 1467. Inside, there is a polychrome and gilded wooden altar.

The 285-meter-high rock Gradina, or Stari grad, preserves evidence of a prehistoric hillfort and of a fortification associated with the Venetian-Ottoman wars; defensive and residential walls can still be identified. The small Church of St. Peter in Kučine was built in the 17th century on the foundations of an older church, which the Turks destroyed together with the nearby Kuk Fortress.

The Chapel of St. Peter contains a wooden altar with a panel depicting the Madonna and Child, angels, St. Peter, St. Roch, and St. George. The portal of the parish church, made of white stone, bears the inscription “Kuća moja od molitve moje – 22. X. 1871.”
