The heartbeat of the Split is the magnificent Diocletian’s Palace, an architectural marvel that stands as the very soul of the city. Built by Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century, this UNESCO World Heritage is a statement to the enduring Legacy of the Roman empire. Wandering through the palace’s labyrinthine alleyways, one can almost hear the echoes of ancient life and envision the grandeur of Diocletian’s time.
Beyond the palace, Split boasts an array of architectural wonders. The Cathedral of Saint Dominus, originally Diocletian’s mausoleum, exhibits harmonious blend of Romanesque and Gothic Styles. Its bell tower offers panoramic views of the city and the Adriatic Sea. The Peristyle, a grand courtyard, is a hub of activity, hosting events and performances that bring history to life. One can still marvel at elaborate decoration of the columns while sitting on the bench in the courtyard. The place is so inspiring that even Pope John Paul II exclaimed with awe when he walked into it.
After collapse of the Roman empire, the nobleman and soldiers were gone, but the common people started building their stalls and shops with walls of the fortress. This is how the Peristyle became the heart of the Split. Around it , one can discover not only ancient temples, but also fine examples of Renaissance and Gothic architecture which reveal way of life of the most influential families in the city.
