Summary/Abstract: The author describes customs of the inhabitants of the former suburbs of Split in the period from the middle of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century. Town suburbs - varoši - are the settlements surrounding the town, which itself is encompassed by the walls of the Diokletian palace. During the 19th c. the suburbs turned into distinct parts of the town (Veli Varoš, Lučac, Dobri and Manuš). They were inhabited by peasants engaged in agriculture, in viticulture and only to a certain extent in crafts and fishing. Customs related to yearly feasts and family have been depicted. Their source is twofold - the author’s own investigations and the archival documentation of the Ethnographic Museum in Split.
