Aside from his club-founding activities, Kaliterna also held numerous sports functions; he was the 16th president of Hajduk during 1936, member of the Yugoslav Olympic Committee and the Split Olympic Sub-Committee, president of the Split Football Sub Federation and member of the organizational committee of the 1932 European Rowing Championships.[1]
On a professional level, Kaliterna was an accomplished architect having designed over two hundred buildings in Split and Dalmatia, among them, several sport-related buildings used to house Split-based sports clubs.
