Diocletian's Palace, in Split, Croatia
Split, Croatia: Modern City on Ancient Roots
More info about travel to Split: Split's residents are literally living in a Roman palace. In the fourth century AD the Roman Emperor Diocletian retired and built a vast residence to live out his golden years here in his native Dalmatia. Later when Rome fell, Diocletian's palace was abandoned. Eventually, a medieval town sprouted from its abandoned classical shell and his mausoleum became a cathedral. To this day, the maze of narrow alleys — once literally Diocletian's hallways — make up the core of Split. Nearby, the seaside promenade is perfect for a stroll.

Split, Croatia
Split is the second largest city in Croatia, with just over 200,000 inhabitants, and is the largest city on the Adriatic coast. Once merely considered by some as just transit point – with excellent transport connections by bus, sea, air and train, it’s easy to travel to and from the city – it is deservedly becoming a destination in its own right.
There are some fantastic sights in the city, both Roman and more modern, excellent options for dining, drinking and nightlife, plenty of beach opportunities and lots of choice for those wanting day trips.
Places featured:
Diocletian’s Palace:
Considered to be one of the most imposing Roman ruins, Diocletian’s palace is certainly the main attraction of the city of Split, Croatia.These ruins are some of the most valuable surviving buildings of the Roman era on the Adriatic coast.Emperor Diocletian, who voluntarily gave up the throne of the Roman Empire, in the turn of the 4th century CE built the palace and after his retirement on May1, 305 settled here, on the beach, in the Illyrian province of Rome.
Today the Illyrian province is part of Croatia.The so-called palace was a massive structure and contains not only the palace itself but also buildings, intended for housing military garrison.The whole complex occupied around 30,000 square meters. Today these ruins lie in the heart of the city of Split in Croatia.
The Riva:
The Riva started to look the way it does today two centuries ago, when the French, in time of Napoleon ruled these parts through Marshal Marmont. Today this promenade is the cities living room, the most popular and most important public place in Split. In the meantime it has been widened and reconstructed several times, but it was always blessed with the most spectacular set, the south facade of the Diocletian Palace, with the entrance into the Substructures, and later on with the buildings that were built west of the Palace, also the Franciscan monastery with the church of St. Francis, and the Bajamonti Dešković Palace and last but not least the Port Authorities building on the east end.
Riva today is a pedestrian heaven, thrusting with Cafés and restaurants, an ideal place for having your morning or afternoon coffee, or for an evening out with friends over drinks. Riva is the stage of the city life of Split, a venue for numerous cultural and entertainment events, boisterous Split carnival, as well as the stage for meeting Split sportsmen after countless successes, such as Goran Ivanišević, Hajduk football club players and Jugoplastika basketball players, Olimpic medal winners... Riva is also a political forum, with decades of political opportunities being depicted through mass rallies. Naturally, Riva is always at its best in time of Sudamja, a celebration dedicated to St. Domnius, the patron saint of Split.
Marjan Hill:
Every time you want to take a break from the hectic lifestyle of the city is enough to take a little walk and head towards Marjan. Marjan is an integral part of the city center that extends from the Marmont Street and continues to the west. It’s long over 3 km. In 1964 it was declared a park and since then is considered a protected part of Split. This hills and its forests are the lungs of the city, the most popular place to escape from the city bustling and chaotic pace of life during the high season in July and August.

Diocletian Palace Walking Tour | Split Croatia
Diocletian's Palace, Split CROATIA
We spent 2 full days in Split and it was awesome.
Diocletian's Palace is massive. Encompassing an area that would make modern day Palace's jealous.
Entrance is free, I suggest to find a good tour group before, our tour guide was actually quite awful.
The seafood is fresh and can be found all over the city. Just take a walk around and eat wherever you like.
Grab a swim at the local beaches, they area sandy once you pass some rocks. The water in July was warm, around 75F.
Parking is problematic, I suggest you find a lot and leave the car as the city is very walkable.

Diocletian's Palace in 300 AD
This is my first 3D model constructed fully with Sketchup . . . and then rendered into a movie with VRay for Sketchup. This is a study of Diocletian's Palace as it was in 300 AD, located in what is now Split, Croatia. I am hoping to do further work on this, including some analysis of the ways this complex of buildings works with the natural environment.

5 Historical Places to Explore Within the DIOCLETIAN'S PALACE in Split, Croatia!
Explored 5 places within the unconventional palace in Split that was used as a military garrison and as Diocletian's retirement home!
Introduction:
Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Triple P with me Surya Sridhar. So guys Raam and I have just finished exploring Dubrovnik and now we’ve come down to Split. Now one of the places that you absolutely cannot miss is the Diocletian’s Palace. It was built 1700 years ago by the Roman emperor called Diocletian and it is super huge. It is 215 meters by 180 meters, so it takes up half of the old city. And guys, obviously, it is not a palace in the traditional sense. It is more of a fortress. It was intended to be half a military garrison and half his retirement place. Over time the transformation has been quite interesting. Now after his death a lot of the citizens used it as a safe place against invaders, that is why until this day, there are many shops and business. It is very vibrant and bustling. Right now there are around 3000 people living here, and I am going to walk you guys through these walls and show you 5 places you cannot miss. Let’s go!
Number 1: Peristil
Okay guys so we have just made our way to the Peristil: it basically refers to the inner courtyard surrounded by columns and it was especially important for the emperor Diocletian because he used to make his grand appearances here for his cheering crowds. Now until now you will notice there are beautiful designs, elaborate designs, polished floors, and the most important thing that it is very centrally located, it is in the middle of the palace. And one really fun fact, if you come here during the summer months, you will notice an actor playing the part of the emperor and parading around. So don’t miss that!
Number 2: Vestibule
Okay guys so right next to the Peristil you will find the vestibule. It is the entrance to Diocletian’s residential palace. Now one of the very interesting facts that we found out was that when people came to visit Diocletian, they had to enter the vestibule and they had to lie in a prostrate position to greet him. That was his rule. Nowadays in the vestibule you will find something even more interesting over here. You will find a group of “klapa” (capella) singers who sing the Dalmatian folk songs. So let’s check it out!
Number 3: Sphinx
Okay guys so when you are walking around the Peristil you may notice some Egyptian influences. That is because Diocletian did not just have dominion over this area, but also had dominion over Egypt. He had ordered 12 Sphinxes including these red columns from the era of Thutmose the 3rd to be brought here to Split. Now unfortunately out of these 12 Sphinxes only 1 remains right here in the Peristil. The other 11 were destroyed after the arrival of Christianity as they saw it as Pagan symbols.
Number 4: Cathedral of St. Domnius
Okay guys we have now come to the Cathedral of St. Domnius, which I honestly believe is the Octagonal Cathedral of Paradox. And I’m going to tell you why. So it was originally built as a Mausoleum for Diocletian, who is also known as the Persecutor of Christians. He was entered here in 311. Now, in the 5th century, what happened is, the Christian citizens who were living here, took out his tombstone, destroyed it, threw his body out into the river, and then changed this Mausoleum into a church for St. Domnius who is now the protector of this city. Isn’t that interesting!
Number 5: Substructures
Okay guys so last but not least we have come to the substructures found under the vestibule. They have played a different purpose during different eras. For example during the Roman era, they were used to elevate the chambers of Diocletian above, and they were also used for storage spaces. Then during the Medieval times, they were used more for residential purposes and over time, very interestingly, were used as a waste pitt. Now you might ask whats so interesting about that? Now architects and engineers believe that the substructures were not strong enough to have actually held up the chambers above and the palace walls. So they say that it was only due to the waste pitt that the whole thing didn’t come crashing down. Isn’t that interesting? For now days it is used more for exhibits, it was used for the GOT shooting scenes in season 4, and as well as that for souvenir shops. So let’s go check it out!
Conclusion:
Okay guys thank you so much for watching the video. I really hope that you found the 5 places interesting. Don’t forget to walk around the Diocletian’s Palace and check out the all the other stores and shops. It is very fascinating! If you did enjoy the video, please hit the like and subscribe buttons below and I will see you next time!

Diocletian's Palace - Split - Croatia
Diocletian's Palace is an ancient palace built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms the center of the city of Split. While it is referred to as a palace because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison.
Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305 AD. It lies in a bay on the south side of a short peninsula running out from the Dalmatian coast, four miles from Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The terrain slopes gently seaward and is typical karst, consisting of low limestone ridges running east to west with marl in the clefts between them.

Along with many well-known sights, tourists will also be able to walk around the Diocletian's palace as it was in the era of the Emperor 1700 years ago at the time of its construction before the shore before the Sphinx arrived on Peristil or the bell tower of St. Duje.
It is possible from today, with the help of modern technology.
