CRVENI PERISTIL (red Peristil, Croatian) - an urban intervention done on the main square of Diocletian's palace in the city of Split, named Peristil in 1968, according to which a number of other actions were recognized as the work of the group of the same name (i.e. "Red Peristil"). The square was painted red.

Intervention has, because of the illegal attack on the social property (see; socialism) and indicative colour been treated as an act of provocation and vandalism and prosecuted by public. Only one art historian, Cvito Fisković, has made a statement of defence. Two of the protagonists have committed suicide, Pave Dulčić and Tomo Ćaleta, whereas others (notably two more) were not speaking about the event, at all. A myth of the Crveni Peristil has, for these reasons agglomerated new "anti-heroes" arriving to amazing number of more than thirty people being there.
