1. Emperor Diocletian - The Man Who Built the City
Emperor Diocletian and the Birth of Split
Split owes its existence to the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who built his monumental palace here in the 4th century AD as his retirement residence.
Unlike most Roman palaces, Diocletian’s Palace never became an abandoned ruin. Instead, it slowly transformed into a living city, where people continued to build, live, and trade within its ancient walls.
This unique blend of history and everyday life makes Split one of the most fascinating historic cities in Europe.
2. Saint Domnius - From Mausoleum to Cathedral
Saint Domnius - From Imperial Tomb to Sacred Heart
One of Split’s greatest contrasts lies at its very center. Diocletian’s mausoleum, built for a Roman emperor who persecuted Christians, later became the Cathedral of Saint Domnius (Sveti Duje).
Today, it is considered one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals in the world still in use.
Saint Domnius, the patron saint of Split, symbolizes the city’s spiritual transformation and resilience through centuries of change.
3. A City of Many Layers
Layers of Time in Stone
Over the centuries, Split was shaped by Roman, medieval, Venetian, Austro-Hungarian, and modern Croatian influences.
Each era left visible traces in the city’s streets, squares, and architecture, creating a rich urban mosaic.
Walking through Split feels like moving through different chapters of history, all within a compact and vibrant city center.

6. Sea & Beaches - Mediterranean Lifestyle
