The square-shaped corner tower known as the ”Mainland Tower” (Torre di Terraferma) remained after the demolition and adaptation of parts of the south-eastern town walls. Right next to it stood the ˝Garden Gate“, which led to the fields and gardens on the sandy peninsula of Punta. Venetian coats of arms from various periods, preserved from the pulled-down town walls and the the Provveditore's palace, can be found on the facade of the tower.

Remnants of the single-nave early Christian church with a semi-circular apse and subsellium. The recently explored foundations, excavated during archaeological research in 2004, are mentioned in written sources from 1527. The church is dedicated to the Chalcedon martyr Euphemia, the patron saint of true faith.

The bronze monument stands by the shore, in the town part known as Toreta. It is shaped as a waving flag with handprints of actual family members of the veterans from Omiš killed in the Homeland War, thus symbolising the unbreakable bond between the living and those who laid down their lives for the freedom of our country.
The flag also symbolically represents the major geographical features of Omiš because its plan view resembles the course of a river, while viewed from the front it reminds us of the magnificent mountains surrounding the town.
The monument bears the names and is dedicated to the 65 war veterans from Omiš who were killed in the Homeland War.
The monument was unveiled in May 2004.
