Built as the palace where Roman Emperor Diocletian spent the last years of his life, and where his remains were kept, this now is an unlikely and unique historic city centre of Split.
When we walked through the North Gate and left the modern part of Split behind us, we directly felt we stepped into history. Narrow streets, arched passages, small courtyards, and old houses proved to be only the first hints of what was to come. Soon, we arrived at the Peristil, a colonnaded street right in the heart of the old town, once giving access to the imperial apartments, temples, and the mausoleum of Diocletian. It was here that the complexity of Diocletian's Palace fully surfaced. Classical Roman architecture and marble columns are integrated into buildings of much more recent origin, and make for an intriguing mix of antiquity and modernity. Actually, the entire old walled town was originally built as a palace by Roman emperor Diocletian.
