• Split Riva - Our journey begins at the Riva, Split’s promenade. Here, I’ll provide some general information about the city and our tour.
• Diocletian’s Palace - Next, we’ll explore the palace complex. If there are no events or worship services and the attractions are open, we’ll visit the palace basement, the Cathedral’s interior, and the Temple of Jupiter together. The entrance fees for these three attractions are included.
• Diocletian’s Cellars - We’ll enter the palace cellars through the South Gate. These cellars, like the palace, were constructed over 1700 years ago and are remarkably well-preserved. They give us a great sense of the palace’s scale. The entrance fee is included.
• The Peristyle of Diocletian’s Palace - The Peristyle was a sacred meeting place during Diocletian’s time. Here, he presented himself to his subjects and was worshipped as the son of the Roman god Jupiter.
• Temple of Jupiter - Now a baptistery, the Temple of Jupiter features a stunning casket ceiling that influenced Renaissance architects in Dalmatia.
• Vestibulum of Diocletian’s Palace - The vestibule served as the entrance to Diocletian’s private chambers.
• Cathedral of Saint Domnius - Originally the mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian, the Split Cathedral was converted into a Christian cathedral after the emperor’s remains were removed during Christianization.
• Golden Gate - The North Gate was the most significant gate during Roman times, leading to the city of Salona, the capital of the Roman province.
• Old Split - From the North Gate, we’ll walk along the palace walls to the heart of the Old Town, Narodni Trg, and then to the former fruit market, Voćni Trg. This part of the city has developed west of the palace since the Middle Ages.
• People’s Square - Known as Pjaca, this square has been the city’s center since the Middle Ages and remains so today. It features many old Venetian palaces and a neo-Gothic old city hall.
• Fruit’s Square (Trg Brace Radic) - Once a fruit market, Voćni trg now hosts a monument to Marko Marulić, one of Split’s most important Renaissance authors.
• Split Fish Market - The fish market is a notable attraction, located next to the sulfur baths. Even Diocletian knew that sulfur baths could alleviate rheumatism and other ailments. The sulfur smell keeps flies away from the market.
• Marmontova ulica - Marmontova is a bustling shopping street and pedestrian zone in Split’s old town, built by the French under Napoleon’s rule in the early 19th century.
• Prokurative - Our tour concludes at Procurative, a beautiful square reminiscent of St. Mark’s Square in Venice, with numerous cafes and restaurants inviting you to relax.
