8 Arnir Sarcophagus inside Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split, Croatia

The remains of Saint Domnius were once kept in this early 15th century altar at Split’s cathedral. This ornately carved sarcophagus by Bonino da Milano now contains the body of Saint Arnir. He was Split’s bishop when he was martyred in 1180. Nearby are two other things to appreciate in what some historians call the world’s oldest cathedral. The first are the two huge wooden front doors. They were carved during the 13th century by Andrija Buvina. Then take the steps leading to the cathedral’s treasury where you will see religious artifacts, some dating back to the 6th century.
