Kučine is strategically located on the southern slope of Mount Mosor, offering one of the finest panoramas over the city of Split, the Klis Fortress, and the central Dalmatian islands. The village is closely tied to the history of the ancient city of Salona and was once an important agricultural center for the region. The village has preserved its traditional Dalmatian character with old stone houses and narrow alleys. The Church of St. Luke in the old part of Kučine is a significant architectural monument and a center of local heritage. Numerous hiking trails start above the village, leading up to the peaks of Mount Mosor. Today, Kučine is a popular residential area for those wanting to escape the bustle of Split while remaining within 15 minutes of the city center. The local dining scene is known for rustic Dalmatian cuisine, especially meat dishes cooked under the 'peka' (bell) and homemade wine.
