Saint Duje (also known as Doimus, Domnio, Domnius or Dujam) was a third century bishop of Salona, a Roman city in modern Croatia. He was martyred with seven other Christians in the persecutions of Diocletian. He was born in Antiohia, in modern-day Syria, and beheaded in 304 at Salona. His relics were later moved to the cathedral of Split. He is the patron saint of Split.
