The bronze statue of Gregory of Nin, a 10th-century bishop remembered for defending the Croatian language in church services, is the work of Ivan Meštrović. Erected in 1929 in the Peristyle, it was removed during the Second World War and set up again in 1954 outside the Golden Gate of Diocletian's Palace, where visitors rub its polished big toe for luck.

The Golden Gate is the main northern gate of Diocletian's Palace, built around 305 at the end of the road to Salona. Its facade has niches and a blind arcade of seven arches; walled up in the Middle Ages, it was reopened in 1857 and restored in 2012–2015. It leads from the park outside the walls into the old town, beside the Grgur Ninski statue.
