Stroll in the Footsteps of Royalty at Diocletian’s Palace

Diocletian's Palace is an impressive historical site that was once a palace erected in the 4th century for the Roman emperor Diocletian. The amazing complex, which is situated in Split along the harbor, isn't really a prestigious palace or museum. With its winding streets dotted with cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops, it is the center of the city. The majority of Split's Old Town is occupied by Diocletian's Palace, which is currently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site despite its continued use. It was formerly set aside for Diocletian and the whole of his military garrison, but now it is inhabited by about 3,000 people, along with innumerable tourists.

With all the bustle of the area, it’s easy to forget where you actually are. Take the time to admire the centuries-old architecture when you’re there. You can easily see the original columns and arches above the stores and restaurants. If you’re fascinated by the area, you can even head underground and explore the palace’s substructure.
