Croatia Split 2nd day
Hello my Beloved!
This is my second day in #Croatia: Split! I was just enjoying!
I stayed in nicely decorated apartment. When I crossed the street, was a market.
I explored everything about #Split. I was so excited. I wanted to see everything!
I can't wait to show you everything around! It's such a beautiful city!
At first I stopped by statue Grgur Ninski (Gregory of Nin). It's believed that touching his toes brings happiness! And realizations of desirers! Of course I rub it! I don't mind to be happy and that my wishes are being realized!
And there is not far away this beautiful Gallery of fine arts. I went there several times. But only because of #vegan cakes! (Next time I promise, I go inside real gallery, not just in coffee shop... I promise!)
Split is gorgeous city. You just have to come here! I felt totally in love in this #historical city!
You can't really miss #Diocletian Palace. It's 1700 years old heritage of the Roman Empire.
Through the #Golden gate and then straight forward was #Peristyle square. There are no words to describe that amazing breath taking place.
There is also magnificent cathedral of St. Duje (Saint Dominus) with a bell tower 57 meters high. Built in a 13th century.
I love Split with every fiber of my being!
Ly♥
Kateja
P.S.: Be yourself! Have #fun! Be delicious... insideoutward!

Split, Croatia - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Split
Top best places to visit in Split, Croatia
Split is the second largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia.
It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and because of its ideal climate, with a lot of sun each year, locals often nicknamed their city as the “Mediterranean Flower”.
Split is built around the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian and wandering the historic center you can still clearly see the Roman temples, squares, streets, gates and walls.
On the main square stands a building, originally built around year 300 as a mausoleum for the Roman emperor Diocletian, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the oldest cathedral building in the world.
There are four entrances to the Palace:
Through the monumental, eastern Silver Gate.
Through the western Iron Gate with the old city clock counting 24 digits. Outside this gate is located the Old Town Hall and the People’s Square, the central venue of the city’s social life.
The Golden Gate, the northern entrance, is a favorite tourist spot, together with the nearby grandiose statue of the Gregory of Nin.
The southern Brass Gate is modest in size but also the “main” gate as the tourists pass through it most frequently coming and going on the Riva, the main city promenade.
At the other end of the Riva promenade is situated a beautiful venetian plaza, the Republic Square.
Split is an oasis for those who look for a natural stress relief.
On Marian Hill there is a big forest park with wonderful panoramic views.
Around the park are many perfect places to swim, like the Kasjuni Beach.
Or, favorites among locals, the beautiful pine forest Bene Beach.
Split has many museums worth a visit, such as:
The Archaeological Museum, the oldest museum in Croatia.
The Museum of Fine Arts, which contains works from the 14th century up to the present day.
The Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments that presents cultural artifacts of the Croats in the Middle Ages.
The Mestrovic Gallery, an art museum dedicated to the work of the sculptor, Ivan Meštrović.
The city is a home for one of the biggest and oldest theaters in Croatia, the National Theater.
In Split you can not miss the multi-use stadium as it is one of the sportiest cities in the world.
Just outside the city are the ruins of Salona one of the biggest towns of the Roman Empire.
It has a very well preserved basilica, cemetery, amphitheater and many other Roman buildings.
About 10 km from Split there is the Klis Fortress, a medieval stronghold with fascinating history and an incredible view.

Intro & Outro:
Split Travel Guide - Croatian Taste of Happiness
Split Travel Guide - Croatian Taste of Happiness
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.

Fake artworks exhibition | Croatia
The exhibition titled The beauty with false glow in the Varazdin City Museum’s Hecer Palace testifies how important it is to be vigilant while purchasing artwork. Forged paintings and sculptures by mostly famous Croatian artists, but also by famous international artists, confiscated on the black art market are a part of the Police Museum's fund. The exhibition is open until September 24th. The works of various authors have been exhibited, from Dali to Stancic, from Renoir to Murtic; about fifty paintings and sculptures looking like the famous originals. Confiscated forgeries are no longer destroyed, but collected and kept as a lesson. The works of Edo Murtic are favorite among forgers so paintings which were made with the intent to bluff buyers are exposed in a special room. And whether there are forgeries in Croatian museums and galleries, and in what amount, remains unknown. Manipulation with supernumerary serigraphs or sculptural scraps like those of Dusan Dzamonja are still a big problem. Art forgeries are most commonly detected at airports and border crossings in routine vehicle inspections. Last autumn the Slovenian police broke the Slovenian-Austrian-Hungarian forgers group. They were forging all famous European painters.It is a multi-crime that police is systematically trying to suppress.
SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Zeljko Jamicic, Police Museum curator: Our goal is to educate citizens there is a Black Art market and there are forgers and forgeries traders so they have to study the market and the artist’s opus and techniques before they invest their money in some artwork.
SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Ignac Klaric, gallerist: We, the gallerists who are dealing only with art sales, are following the market situation and cooperating with the authors, and when you buy a picture from the author. When you are buying the painting from the author then you know that it is original.
SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Zivko Toplak, a painter: I am wearing a forgery at the moment with Picasso’s drawing which I’ve symbolically put on tonight. We do not have to be too serious – this was happening and will always happen.
SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Darko Blazi, Varazdin Police deputy chief: This is about stealing author’s rights and forgery but what is most important-it is the crime against Art so getting few years in prison or paying a fine is not enough for that kind of crime.
