Historic ensemble · Split, Split-Dalmácia
Dioklecijanova palača
The Dioklecijanova palača forms the old core of Split. The Roman palace was incorporated into the city: streets, passages and later-period buildings occupy the original structure. The visit takes place between public spaces and sections with separate entrances, rather than following a single circuit of rooms.

About Dioklecijanova palača
The Dioklecijanova palača forms the old core of Split. The Roman palace was incorporated into the city: streets, passages and later-period buildings occupy the original structure. The visit takes place between public spaces and sections with separate entrances, rather than following a single circuit of rooms.
The Peristyle, the Vestibule, the gates and the underground areas help to recognize the organization of the complex. As you walk, notice the relationship between the ancient walls and the buildings that adapted to them. The Riva, on the seafront edge, completes the reading of the palace facing the port.
Allow time to orient yourself through the passages before entering the visit areas. The underground sections and the religious monuments have their own access arrangements. The historic complex with the palace is a World Heritage site, but also an inhabited neighborhood that should be explored with respect for everyday uses.
