Climbing to the Top of the Belfry of Saint Domnius in Diocletian Palace in Split, Croatia
The Cathedral of Saint Domnius (Croatian: Katedrala Svetog Duje), known locally as the Saint Dujam (Sveti Dujam) or colloquially Saint Duje (Sveti Duje), is the Catholic cathedral in Split, Croatia. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Split-Makarska, headed by Archbishop Marin Barišić. The Cathedral of St. Duje is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; strictly the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Duje. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Duje. The Cathedral of Saint Domnius is the oldest cathedral in the world.
The cathedral was named after Saint Duje (Saint Dujam, or Saint Domnius) patron saint of Split, who was a 3rd-century Bishop of Salona. Salona was a large Roman city serving as capital of the Province of Dalmatia. Today it is located near the city of Solin in Croatia. Saint Duje was martyred with seven other Christians in the persecutions of the Emperor Diocletian. He was born in Antioch, in modern-day Syria, and beheaded in 304 at Salona.
Diocletian's Palace (Croatian: Dioklecijanova palača) is a building in the centre of Split, built for the Emperor Diocletian (a native of Dalmatia) at the turn of the 4th century. On the intersection of two main roads, cardo and decumanus, there is a monumental court Peristyle, from which the only access to Cathedral of St. Duje is to the east.
The Cathedral of St. Duje is composed of three different sections of different ages. The main part is Emperor Diocletian's mausoleum, which dates from the end of the 3rd century. The mausoleum was built like the rest of the palace with white local limestone and marble of high quality, most of which was from marble quarries on the island of Brač, with tuff taken from the nearby river Jadro beds, and with brick made in Salonitan and other factories.
Later, in the 17th century a chorus was added to the eastern side of the mausoleum. For that purpose the eastern wall of the mausoleum was torn down in order to unify the two chambers.
The Bell Tower was constructed in the year 1100 AD, in the Romanesque style. Extensive rebuilding in 1908 radically changed the Bell Tower, and many of the original Romanesque sculptures were removed.
One of the best examples of Romanesque sculpture in Croatia, are the wooden doors on Cathedral of St. Duje. They were made by the medieval Croatian sculptor and painter Andrija Buvina around 1220. Two wings of the Buvina wooden door contains 14 scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, separated by rich ornaments in wood.

From Wikipedia
The Cathedral of Saint Domnius (Croatian: Katedrala Svetog Duje), known locally as the Sveti Dujam or colloquially Sveti Duje, is the Catholic cathedral in Split, Croatia. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Split-Makarska, headed by Archbishop Marin Barišić. The Cathedral of St. Domnius is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; strictly the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius.
The Cathedral of Saint Domnius, consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century). The structure itself, built in AD 305 as the Mausoleum of Diocletian, is the second oldest structure used by any Christian Cathedral.[2][3]
The cathedral was named after Saint Domnius[citation needed] (Saint Dujam, or Saint Domnius) patron saint of Split, who was a 3rd-century Bishop of Salona. Salona was a large Roman city serving as capital of the Province of Dalmatia. Today it is located near the city of Solin in Croatia. Saint Domnius was martyred with seven other Christians in the persecutions of the Emperor Diocletian. He was born in Antioch, in modern-day Turkey, and beheaded in 304 at Salona.

Two wings of the Buvina wooden door contains 14 scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, separated by rich ornaments in wood.
On the first floor of the sacristy is the cathedral treasury, which contains relics of Saint Domnius, which were brought to cathedral after his death.
Other treasures include sacral art works, like the Romanesque The Madonna and Child panel painting from the 13th century,[6] objects like chalices and reliquaries by goldsmiths from the 13th to the 19th century, and mass vestments from the 14th till 19th century. It also contains famous books like the Book of gospels (Splitski Evandelistar) from the 6th century, the Supetar cartulary (Kartularium from Sumpetar) from the 11th century, and the Historia Salonitana (The History of the people of Salona) by Thomas the Archdeacon from Split in the 13th century.

Do not climb out of bell tower :)
Je li ovo prosinac? Pitamo se svakoga dana kada se probudimo u prekrasnom Splitu. Volimo istraživati Split i okolicu. Ovog puta smo se odlučili, umjesto ispijanja kave na Božićnom sajmu, popeti se na toranj najstarije katoličke katedrale na svijetu koja je ostala u upotrebi u svojoj originalnoj gradnji, katedrala Svetog Duje u Splitskom centru grada. Ulaznica je 20 kuna.
Nemoj te se penjati izvan tornja :)

스플리트를 대표하는 유적은 가장 웅장한 로마유적 중 하나라는 디오클레티아누스 궁전.3세기 말 4세기 초의 로마황제였던 디오클레티아누스가 콘스탄티누스대제에게 황위를 물려주고10년이 넘게 지냈던 곳으로 그 규모가 약 12,000평에 달한다고 하니 당시 로마 황제의 위용을 짐작할 만하다. 안으로 들어서면 신하가 황제를 알현하기 위해 윤허를 기다리던 장소가 나온다. 둥근 돔으로 된 이곳은 뚫려있는 천정에 프리즘이 있어, 빛이 굴절되어 무지개가 나타나는 재미있는 현상을 볼 수 있다. 조금 더 걷다보면 아치형 천정이 있는 회랑과 연결된다. 액세서리나 공예품을 판매하는데 이곳에서도 나는 디오클레티아누스를 볼 수 있었다. 기독교인을 사자 밥이 되게 했던 정복자, 디오클레티아누스. 역사는 과연 승자의 것이던가. “저는 여기에 두 번째 왔는데 여전히 아름답네요. 디오클레티아누스 궁전은 재건축 과정에서 크로아티아 사람들에게 좋은 영향도 끼치고, 나쁜 영향도 주었지만 우리는 이 아름다운 유적을 가꿔가야겠죠.” 궁전 전경이 보고 싶어진 나는 성 도미니우스 대성당 종탑에 올랐다. 계단이 어찌나 가파른지 무척 숨이 찼지만 나는 계속 올랐다. 종탑 위에 다다르자 스플리트의 전경이, 그리고 디오클레티아누스 궁전의 모습이 한 눈에 펼쳐졌다. 옛 모습 그대로가 너무나 생생해 마치 내가 고대 유럽으로 시간여행을 온 것 같았다. 스플리트는 과연, 크로아티아의 미학이 살아있는 곳이다.
