Split

Built around the retirement palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian, Split grew into Croatia’s second-largest city and Dalmatia’s principal urban centre. Diocletian’s Palace, constructed around AD 300, remains the living core of the old town: its Roman walls, cellars and narrow passages contain homes, shops and cafés. Split faces the Adriatic Sea, while the wooded slopes of Marjan rise immediately west of the centre. The Cathedral of Saint Domnius incorporates the emperor’s former mausoleum, linking Roman imperial architecture with the city’s later Christian tradition.
