Its name comes from the medieval monastery of St Stephen under the Pines, which stood here and served as a burial place for Croatian kings. In the early 19th century the site became Split's first cemetery, then outside the city, and the communist authorities later cleared it after a new municipal cemetery opened.

Today Sustipan is a public park whose rocky shore drops to the sea, with views across the Adriatic to the islands. Its eastern side looks back over Split and the ACI marina below, while the pool of the Jadran swimming club sits on the western side.
