Why visit
an extraordinary artistic and architectural work by Ivan Meštrović
In the landscape of Otavice, not far from Drniš, lies one of the most significant works of Croatian art and architecture – the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, better known as Meštrović’s Mausoleum. The mausoleum is built from local stone, blending Romanesque, early Christian, and Mediterranean influences with Meštrović’s signature style to create a unique fusion of sacred and artistic expression.

The Church of the Most Holy Redeemer is situated on a hill overlooking Petrovo Polje, offering visitors peace and contemplation in a beautiful natural setting. The interior of the mausoleum is adorned with Meštrović’s works, including sculptures and reliefs that reflect the artist’s deep spirituality and reflections on life and death.

Church of the Most Holy Redeemer

The building was conceived as a central domed church inspired by ancient models, and its monumentality and simplicity leave a powerful impression. A visit to Meštrović’s Mausoleum offers a unique opportunity to explore the body of work of one of Croatia’s greatest artists, while also experiencing the spiritual peace and beauty of the Dalmatian hinterland.
