The research of the monuments in Salona that was practically started at the time of the founding of the museum in Split, soon led to the construction of a building at the site. This building was supposed to make the archaeologists' stay during the research easier, as well as to house the monuments, the flat of the custodian of the site and the monuments, but also as a shelter for tourists that were visiting the remains of Salona. The construction was started in 1897, and was completed by the end of the following year. The interior of the building was decorated by famous artists from Split in Pompeian style, according to Buliæ's wishes, while the largest room on the first floor was decorated by the images of St. Venantius, St. Anastasius and St. Domnius, the martyrs of Salona. These frescoes have for the large part faded, and are presently undergoing restoration.
Tusculum is today an entrance to the sites and monuments of Salona, a place where materials from the archaeological research are deposited and where conservation work is done. Inside, there is a memorial room of Father Frane Buliæ, with exhibited objects that had belonged to him. Tusculum is a place where visitor can rest during a hot summer day and find a shelter from the rain, just as Father Frane had intended. It is a starting point of visit to Salona and its sites: the Early Christian churches and graveyards, thermae, theatre, amphitheatre, aqueduct, buildings, fortification walls etc.

School Botanical Garden

This school botanical garden occupies the space around the school building "Vjeko Butir" which is beside the highway Split - Trogir, on a space of 2.3 ha. This garden was established according to merit and voluntary working of pupils and teaching staff, right after their moving into the new school building in 1976. On the above mentioned space plant groupings were formed according to their geographic and ecological belonging and purposes. Some more important spatial totalities are grouped into the following plant groups:

- Mediterranean autochtonous plants
- swampy plants
- medicinal plants
- subtropics and tropic plants on protected locations
- arboretum

Such conception gives some neatness to the garden and it stresses educational importance.

Olive plantation with its 13 sorts of olive trees into which besides native species are included French, Italian and Spanish, presents a special value of the garden. These species of olive trees were sent as a present to this school by the world organization FAO.

There are more than 800 taxa into this garden which belong to 122 families, and they are represented by over 15.000 specimen of seedlings. So, this garden together with those in Trsteno and Lokrum is a rich and qualitative horticultural object of our east Adriatic seaside. This school botanical garden has been put under the protection in 1986 as a horticultural monument - botanical garden.

On its own is the room dedicated to the sculptor Duknović. An 18th century house built by Ignacije Macanović goes on from this part. It houses the Garagnin-Fanfogna Library and office spaces.
