Split is a city in Central Dalmatia, Croatia. The city was originally built around the Diocletian palace (a palace/fort built for the retired Roman emperor Diocletian) where the locals sought refuge centuries ago. Despite initial appearances, however, the city is not a small tourist town, and extends over a large area well beyond the ancient core. With over 300,000 people in the wider bay area, it's the economic hub of the eastern Adriatic shoreline (the unofficial capital of Dalmatia). Wandering the historic centre of Split you can still clearly see the Roman walls, squares, and temples.
Because of its ideal climate, with 2,800 hours of sunlight each year, local people have a few nicknames for Split: The most beautiful city in the world and Mediterranean flower. Many famous Croatian sports people are born in Split, so locals often nicknamed their city as The sportiest city in the world. The most popular sport institution is the football club Hajduk. The whole city is painted with the club's colors and logo. This is done by Torcida, the oldest supporters group in Europe, established in 1950. Beside bell tower of St. Duje, the symbols of city are the Dalmatian dog and a donkey. Locals have a high place for the donkey because of its past indispensable place in field work and transport across Dalmatian mountains.
Split is much, much larger than other coastal towns (Rovinj, Pula, Zadar, Sibenik) and has modernized as the city has grown. If you're expecting the same charm as these cities and towns, you will be disappointed.
Winters in Split are generally mild, with temperatures above 0°C, but despite the popular saying that the city experiences snowfall once every 30 years, there is actually at least one snowy day nearly every winter, usually in January or early February. If you find yourself in Split on a day with significant snowfall, expect serious traffic disruption.
Central Split is quite compact and most sights can be easily seen and best experienced on foot, but there are frequent local buses to outlying attractions and the airport. Most of the city buses in Split are new AC and low floor. Tickets can be bought at kiosks or from the bus driver. Only single-journey tickets can be bought in buses at the driver. There are many companies that offer speedboat transfer/taxi service to nearby destinations; half-day, daily & weekly rentals; and guided excursions with a skipper.
The most famous local delicates is Soparnik. It originates from nearby Poljica region (formerly known as Poljička Republika or Republic of Poljica). It is a crepe-like dough filled with Swiss chard and onions and baked on fireplace. On top comes olive oil and garlic. You can find it on Pazar (green market).
Split and surrounding parts of Dalmatia have an extensive system of private accommodations where visitors can rent a room (Sobe) or an entire apartment (Apartman) from a local host. Some of these accommodations can be arranged ahead of time via booking sites on the internet, but most are arranged in person upon arrival.

To top it off, Split has a unique setting. Its dramatic coastal mountains act as the perfect backdrop to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic and help divert attention from the dozens of shabby high-rise apartment blocks that fill its suburbs. It's this thoroughly lived-in aspect of Split that means it will never be a fantasy land like Dubrovnik.

From Wikipedia
Salona (Ancient Greek: Σάλωνα) was an ancient city and the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The name Salona preserves the language of the early inhabitants of this area whom the Romans called Dalmatae, and considered to be part of a larger group called Illyrians.[1] Salona (or Salon) is situated in today's town of Solin, right next to Split, in modern-day Croatia.
First mention of the name Salon originates about 7th century BC as an Illyrian settlement near the spring of river Jadro. In the first millennium BC the Greeks set up an emporium (marketplace) there. After the conquest by the Romans, Salona became the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. because it sided with the future Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar in the civil war against Pompeii's and Marcus Licinius Crassus of the first Triumvirate. Martia Iulia Valeria Salona Felix (the full name of the ancient city) was founded probably after the Roman civil wars under Julius Caesar. The early Roman city encompassed the area around the Forum and Theatre, with an entrance, the Porta Caesarea, on the north-east side, The walls were fortified with towers during the reign of Augustus. The early trapezoidal shape of the city was transformed by eastern and western expansion of the city. The city quickly acquired Roman characteristics: walls; a forum; a theatre; an amphitheater – the most conspicuous above-ground remains today; public baths; and an aqueduct.[6] Many inscriptions in both Latin and Greek have been found both inside the walls and in the cemeteries outside, since Romans forbade burials inside the city boundaries. A number of fine marble sarcophagi from those cemeteries are now in the Archaeological Museum of Split. All this archaeological evidence attests to the city's prosperity and integration into the Roman Empire.
Aqueduct of Salona
Salona had a mint that was connected with the mint in Sirmium and silver mines in the Dinaric Alps through Via Argentaria. When the Roman Emperor Diocletian retired, he erected a monumental palace nearby. This massive structure, known as Diocletian's Palace, became the core of the modern city of Split.
Salona's continuing prosperity resulted in extensive church building in the fourth and fifth centuries, including an episcopal basilica and a neighboring church and baptistery inside the walls, and several shrines honoring martyrs outside. These have made it a major site for studying the development of Christian sacred architecture.
Salona was largely destroyed in the invasions of the Avars and Slavs in the seventh century AD, though the exact year of the destruction still remains an open subject between archaeologists. Refugees from Salona settled inside the Diocletian's Palace.

The Archaeological Museum in Split
From the Web:
History of Ancient Salona
Under the Romans, Salona was the political centre of the Dalmatia region, reaching its peak under Emperor Diocletian who built his palace in Split. Huns and Goths swept down in the middle of the 5th century announcing the end of Roman rule. Salona wound up in the Eastern Roman Empire but in 614 the Slavs and Avars moved in and levelled the town to the ground.
What to See in Salona
The ruins are relatively unvisited which allows you to calmly commune with the spirits of centuries past. The most impressive ruin is the 2nd-century amphitheatre which was destroyed by the Venetians in the 17th century. At one time it could accommodate 18,000 spectators and who knows how many gladiators fighting bears.
Also interesting is the Manastirine, a burial place for early Christian martyrs (torn apart by lions?) which is part of an archaeological reserve which includes the Tusculum Museum.
Other remains from the early Christian period include the remains of a cemetery baslica that dates from the 4th century and the ruins of a three-nave cathedral with an octagonal baptistery.
You'll notice remains of a covered aqueduct from the 1st century, public baths and other ancient churches. There's also a small museum near the entrance which sometimes has informative leaflets.
Getting to Solin
Not only do all buses between Split and Trogir stop at Solin but you can take Split city bus no 1 which leaves every half hour from central Split.

Picnic on the Lycian Way (with a point about aqueducts)
The Lycian Way is a footpath along the coast of southern Turkey. I was invited by the family that ran the hostel where I was staying to join in a walk along a section of it, and a communal lunch. It was a beautiful day in spring.

Travel Croatia - Visit the Pula Roman Amphitheatre
Take a tour of Pula Roman Amphitheatre in Pula, Croatia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The arena that towers over Pula, Croatia is a marvel of ancient engineering.
The Pula Arena is amidst the world's two hundred Roman style amphitheaters left standing, and numbers among the grandest.
The arena's highest walls rise to a staggering almost one hundred feet.
Constructed mostly from limestone, the amphitheater has nearly one hundred and fifty identical arches.
The arena was once home to gladiator's fights, medieval festivals, and is currently suited to stage concerts and theater productions.
Estimated to be nearly 2,000 years old, the Pula Arena remains one of Croatia's most prolific sites.

STORYLINE
Visitors were allowed inside Hall Ten (Aula X) of the Diocletian Baths for the first time in 30 years, after authorities in Rome on Monday re-opened the newly restored exhibit.
Aula X is one of the 12 halls of the ancients baths that were constructed between 298 and 306 AD and were believed to be the biggest in Rome.
Most of the halls are now open as part of the National Roman Museum of the Diocletian Thermal baths in downtown Rome.
Archaeologists say they do not know the actual purpose of the Hall but believe it was important due to its enormity and central position.
Experts used the most modern techniques including endoscopic studies of the walls of the Hall to complete the restoration.
Once the restoration of the hall was complete, newly restored ancient tombs, including that of the Platorini, an imperial Roman family, were placed inside.
The Platorini tomb was discovered in 1880 along the Tiber riverbank, and contains funeral urns as well as statues of two family members, Sulpinicius Platorinus and his daughter Sulpicia Platorina.
The Diocletian Baths were functional until the sixth century when Goths cut the aqueduct system leading to the city, archaeologists say.
It is believed they could accommodate up to three thousand people at a time.
Thermal baths were used not just for hygienic and healing reasons, but also played an important social role, according to experts.
The Diocletian Baths contained a frigidarium (a cold pool to dip in after a hot bath), a tepidarium and a calidarium (warm bath and steam room), as well as a gym, a library and rooms for sports and games.
Three sarcophagi, and three ancient tombs, including the Platorini tomb, are on display in Hall 10 in the present day museum.
Visitors can also marvel at the brightly coloured ancient paintings on the wall and see the bust of the Minatia Polla, believed to be a first century Roman girl.

Хорватия: Цавтат | Croatia: Cavtat
Я со своим верным штурманом и супругой Аллой Кошкой провел 5 чудесных выходных дня в Южной Далмации.
2 дня - в Черногории: аэропорт Тиват (Черногория) - Котор - Пераст - национальный парк Ловчен - Цетине - Rijeka Crnojevica - Будва - Свети-Стефан - совершаем паромную переправу через Которский залив - Herceg Novi - о чем можно посмотреть мой фильм:
Оставшиеся 3 дня мы отдохнули в городке Цавтат, в замечательном отеле Hotel Croatia Cavtat*****
* * *
Ца́втат (хорв. Cavtat, итал. Ragusavecchia) — город в Хорватии, расположенный на юго-востоке от Дубровника на адриатическом побережье, в Дубровницко-Неретванской жупании.
Цавтат — центр общины Конавле и самый южный город Хорватии. Численность населения — 2 тыс. человек.
Цавтат — древний город, он был известен ещё как греческая колония Эпидаурус (Epidauros). В 228 году до н. э. город попал под власть римлян и позднее стал римской колонией. Название города также претерпело некоторые изменения: оно было латинизировано. Таким образом, город стал называться Эпидаврум (лат. Epidaurum).
Первое упоминание о римском городе Эпидавре относится к 47 году до Рождества Христова. До наших дней почти не дошло предметов материальной культуры. Частично сохранился акведук, соединяющий Эпидаврум с деревней Водовадья в Конавле, снабжавшей город водой. Название места, откуда забиралась вода (Конавле — Каналис) дало название всей местности.
В начале VII века город подвергся аваро-славянскому нашествию и, предположительно, в 614 году беженцы из Эпидауруса основали город Рагузу (современный Дубровник). С тех пор Цавтат принадлежал славянскому государству Травунии. В 1426 году он был приобретен у князя Р. Павловича Дубровницкой республикой, и с этого времени Цавтат полностью разделил судьбу Дубровника.
В настоящее время Цавтат — один из популярных туристических центров Хорватии.
Большая часть зданий Цавтата сохранившихся со времён Республики Дубровник построено в стиле ренессанс с элементами готики. Это — Княжеский двор, церковь Святого Николая и монастырь Девы Марии Снежной. Также, частично уцелели городские стены и фортификационные сооружения.
Во дворце ректора хранится коллекция Балтазара Богишича: библиотека состоящая из 22 тыс. раритетных книг, ценнейший архив, собрание графики, коллекция старинных монет, оружия, этнографическая коллекция.
В доме где родился Влах Буховец открыт Мемориальный музей. Так же работы Буховца экспонируются в церкви Св. Николая и в церкви монастыря Девы Марии Снежной.
В окрестностях Цавтата расположены руины илирийских, греческих и римских поселений. При раскопках там найдены амфоры, части строений, мозаики и т. п. Недалеко от монастыря сохранились остатки городских улиц, руины амфитеатра и лестницы ведущие на холм возвышающийся над городом, где согласно легенде стоял храм Асклепия, а позже (в римские времена) располагался форум Августа. В настоящее время на холме построен шедевр хорватского скульптора Ивана Мештровича — мавзолей семейства Рачич.
