Highlights
  • Diocletian’s Palace - Diocletian’s Palace is an ancient palace built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms about half the old town and city center of Split, in Croatia. 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.

Get lost in the maze alike streets of the 17 century old Diocletian’s Palace (the city center and UNESCO World Heritage Site). From 40 century old Egyptian sphinx to the 20 century building, the Split city center will overwhelm you. Experience and enjoy Mediterranean life style of the locals.

Great Tour - We ended up getting a private tour of the city with Jelena. She was a wonderful guide who was knowledgeable about the city as well as fun to spend time with. Offered great tips on different shops along with providing so much information about the history of the Palace. was about to answer all of our questions.
