Description
Join me on an exciting Online Experience as we will explore the 1700-year-old history of Split. Initially, this city was a Roman Palace and then accidentally got converted into a city. Today we are proud and humble as we say that we live in the most beautiful city in the world.
We will begin our tour from the main waterfront Riva. Going into Diocletian’s Palace through the South Gate, we will explore Roman architecture as we walk through the foundation level of the building, which is still intact. Then, we will stop by the upper floor - an imperial apartment that has become a residential zone and is still inhabited by locals. We will exit through Vestibul and will reach the central square Peristyle.
Take a breathtaking view of once Diocletian’s mausoleum, today the Cathedral of St. Domnius, which is one of the best-preserved outdoor Roman monuments in Split. Then, we will go towards the temple of Jupiter. As we go through medieval streets full of charming shops and restaurants, we will reach the Golden Gate, the north entrance to the city, famous for being home to a huge statue of bishop Grgur Ninski.
After stepping out of the Roman palace, we will enter a Venetian part of the city, constructed in the 15th century. Moving through the picturesque streets connecting two main squares of the area, Piazza and Fruit Square, we will complete a full circle around the historic core as we return to the waterfront. Finally, the tour ends with the most beautiful outdoor living room - Riva and a view of the port of Split.
