About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann and for the last decade I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food and history! Since starting Davidsbeenhere in 2008, I have traveled to 71 countries and over 1,000 destinations, which I welcome you to check out on my YouTube Channel, blog and social medias.

I focus a great deal on food and historic sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, whether it’s casual Street food or gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning the local history and culture.

concentric Križni put (Way of the Cross) statues, Stari Grad (Old Town), Sinj, Croatia

I went to Stari Grad because I wanted to know if the statue at the top of the hill, which you can see from a distance, was Mary. Then I figured I was going into a park, having no idea about the Križni put installation or that the experience of it would take me concentrically around the hill; if you go higher, you'll reach the old church and, yes, the statue of Mary, with remnants of utvrda/fortress Grad and great views of Sinj.

Because of the concentric design, though, the individual statues are numbered. However, there are supposed to be 14 in total; but four are missing. I have no idea why that is; maybe it's an incomplete work. Hopefully, I'll get more info. about that later.

This is my second Križni put experience. I like the art better here, but I think there's inconsistency with the overall mood of the pieces. Also, the absence of several sculptures created breaks in the continuity of the subject matter.

Interestingly, though, the *Town of Sinj: Tourist Guide* (n.d.) included info. that the stations were sculptured by the most prominent Croatian sculptures (p. 14); but I think only the titles of their works are included on the bases. So, who are the actual artists?
