This sketch by the architect Robert Adams during his grand tour in 1764 looks to the west and shows the star-shaped Venetian defenses that Marshal Marmont would tear down a couple generations later. The bell tower here looks complete -- but is not as rectangular at the top as we see it today. The harbor was added on after the Jews, expelled from Spain in 1492, settled here and helped make Split the center of Dalmatian commerce.
