Split

UNESCO heritage site: Diocletian's Palace

Split is an attractive, relaxed city with ancient roots; the largest on the Dalmatian Riviera and the second largest in Croatia, it has an international airport and a busy seaport. Built between the glorious shores of the Adriatic and a backdrop of mountains, Split has a long and fascinating history that predates the Roman settlement by a few centuries. In the 1600 years that have passed since the Roman Emperor Diocletian commission the massive, fortified palace on the shoreline, Split has hosted many rulers, which is reflected in the city’s culture and architecture. In modern Split, Diocletian’s Palace has been described as a “city within a city” and, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site it should be at the top of the list for any visitor. Split has many wonderful shops, restaurants and bars and there is always something to do.
