Yes, General Marmont was a conqueror but he did a lot regarding infrastructure developments in Split. Today the city's most visited street bears his name. The marble-lined street is the main shopping area in Split for designer and branded goods.
Although mostly for women, you will find jewellery stores, clothing stores, shoe stores and other goods and brands such as Bershka, Paul&Shark, Tommy Hilfiger, Zara, Benetton, O'Neill, Mexx, Skiny, Naf Naf, Benetton, La Coste, Robe di Kappa, Diesel, Gas....
Most popular of all is the Fish Market, housed in a Secession style building with ironworks and white stone slabs displaying the freshest catch.
