Smokvina Tomb

Cultural heritage site status (first category).

Author Ivan Rendić, 1915/1916.

The features of this Art Nouveau monument have been reiterated more than once. It has an elevated light-colored stone base and a circular central podium with steep sides.

The metal railing with massive metal corner columns was meticulously made and it closes the area with a block of black marble in the middle. On that block, there is a pink marble “chair” and a “cloth” in colorfully encrusted mosaic.

On the chair, a bronze statue by Ivan Rendić shows a Vestal Virgin girl, asleep. Rendić's signature details can be seen in the tomb's stone work and bronze ornaments.
