Historical heritage of Split

Split is the largest city in Dalmatia, the second largest in Croatia and the administrative centre of Split-Dalmatia County. The core of the city is the ancient Diocletian's Palace, which has been under the protection of UNESCO since 1979.

The first inhabitant of Split was the Roman Emperor Diocletian around 293 AD, who decided to build a luxurious imperial villa in which he withdrew after his abdication. Several centuries after the villa was built the inhabitants of nearby Salona, fleeing from Avars and Slavs, inhabited the palace and its surroundings. Many authorities, from Croatian kings in the 10th century AD, Hungarian and Venetian administrations, to French rulers and the Austro-Hungary monarchy ruled the city. Even today, 17 centuries later, the construction remains palace walls with entrance and corner towers, ground floor rooms in the southern part of the palace and the central, most beautiful part of the palace where the emperor's mausoleum is located, the Temple of Jupiter and the central square Peristyle with vestibule.

Summer in Split

There are many beaches in the city and its surroundings, of which the most famous is the sandy beach Bačvice almost in the centre of Split. It is rich in cultural and entertainment life, especially in summer, when Split with its squares, courtyards and other areas turns into a huge open-air stage. In the high season, a traditional festival Split summer is organized where visitors can see plays, operas and concerts.
