From Diocletian’s Times to 2023

Overview of the tour in Split

Together we will discover why Split is a hidden gem of the Mediterranean, from Diocletian’s times to nowadays – DISCOVER why everybody talks about Croatia! Our journey will start in 295 A.D., as you see you are visiting a 1700-year-old city, and wondering how it all happen. How the palace became the second-largest city in Croatia? And how is life in Croatia today?

This tour follows the footsteps of Diocletian, a local boy who left a massive impact on the Roman Empire. Today, his palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holds historical sights, secrets, and stories that will come to life on this tour.

We will see different areas of the complex, such as the cellars and monumental Peristyle courtyard. Look at the emperor's private observatory and visit the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, originally built as Diocletian's Mausoleum. Discover the site of the Temple of Jupiter and Baptistery, and the original Bronze Gate, Silver Gate, and Golden Gate that provided access to the city. Discover a refuge for the noblewomen of Split at the Benedictine Monastery of St. Arnir, admire the original 15th-century Town Hall, and marvel at the Baroque monuments of Fruit Square (Voćni trg).
