Highlights
- The Peristyle of Diocletian’s Palace - At the intersection of the palace’s two main roads lies the Peristyle, a rectangular open courtyard adorned with a colonnade, designed to be the city’s focal point.
- Grgur Ninski Statue - The 8.5-meter (28 ft) tall statue of Gregory of Nin by Ivan Meštrović in Split is a popular tourist attraction, as evidenced by the worn, shiny toe of the statue. Rubbing the toe is believed to bring good luck.
- Cathedral of Saint Domnius - Consecrated at the dawn of the 7th century AD, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius is considered the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world still in use in its original form, without significant later renovations (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century).
- Split-Dalmatia County - The Cellars of Diocletian’s Palace, also known as the “basement halls,” are a series of substructures at the southern end of Diocletian’s Palace (now the southernmost part of Split Stari grade). These cellars once supported Emperor Diocletian’s private apartments and are among the best-preserved ancient complexes of their kind.
- Temple of Jupiter - The Temple of Jupiter (Croatian: Jupiterov hram) in Split, Croatia, is dedicated to the Ancient Roman god Jupiter. Located in the western part of Diocletian’s Palace near the Peristyle, it was constructed between 295 and 305 during the palace’s construction.
- The St. Lawrence Cathedral and Bell Tower - The Cathedral of St. Lawrence (Croatian: Katedrala Sv. Lovre) is a Roman Catholic triple-naved basilica built in Romanesque-Gothic style in Trogir, Croatia. Its prolonged construction over several centuries showcases the various architectural styles that emerged in Dalmatia. Today, it stands as the most prominent monument in Trogir.
- Central Square in Trogir - The Central Square in Trogir, also known as John Paul II Square, is the main square of the old town in this picturesque Venetian-style port city on the Adriatic Sea in central Dalmatia. The old town’s inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list attests to its significance. The square is surrounded by notable buildings such as the Loggia and Clock Tower. The Loggia, opposite the Cathedral, was once a public courtroom and is distinguished by its six pillars with decorated capitals and two wall reliefs. Unfortunately, the pillars are often obscured by a nearby coffee bar during the summer. However, the Relief of Justice by Nicholas Florentino remains clearly visible.
- Split-Dalmatia County - The drive from Trogir to Split offers stunning views of the sea and mountains.

The best tour we've had - We have been traveling through Europe for some time and have taken a tour in every city. We were mostly satisfied, but this tour won us over. Especially since my husband is very picky about informations and loses concentration quickly. But, Daniela was an excellent animator, a warm person with a sense of humor and tells stories from history and the lives of people of that time in a particularly interesting way. We enjoyed listenig to her.
Thanks again for a perfect experience!!!

Unforgettable experience - We were a group of 8 people. Danielle and the driver met us at the port of the cruise ship and we set off for Trogir. I was a bit skeptical when I booked the tour. A tour with very few reviews. How much could value a guide add?
Oh man was I wrong. Danielle was such an amazing guide. The feeling we had during the whole tour was like meeting a friend I haven't seen for a while, with a mission to guide me through Trogir and Split.
The tours were half stories half history facts so you certainly don't get bored.
She seemed to go quite far talking to locals and gathering stories to give that extra kick to the tour. We stopped at some seemingly random places and heard really personal stories. Given that she's from the area nearby, she was able to top it up with some personal stories about life in the area.
Highly recommend!
