Vrpolje Attractions

Vrpolje is the town where the famous Croatian sculptor, Ivan Mestrovic was born in 1883. He was not raised in the town but nonetheless, maintained ties to the community and donated a number of his works to the town. In the church of St Ivan can be found Mestrovic's statue of St John the Baptist, a crucifix, and outside, the better known "Bust of a Woman". There is also a gallery, Spomen Galerija, with a collection of his sculptures in wood and bronze, as well as casts by the artist.
