WELCOME TO CITY SPLIT
Split is a city situated in the Mediterranean Basin on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, centered around the ancient Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian and its bay and port. With a population of 178,192 citizens,and a metropolitan area numbering up to 467,899,Split is by far the largest Dalmatian city and the second-largest city of Croatia. Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area. While it is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old counting from the construction of Diocletian's Palace in AD 305, archaeological research relating to the original founding of the city as the Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) in the 6th century BC, establishes the urban tradition of the area as being several centuries older. Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian (In UNESCO list) Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305 AD.After the Romans abandoned the site, the Palace remained empty for several centuries. In the 7th century nearby residents fled to the walled palace to escape invading barbarians.In the palace is located the cathedral of st. Duje,built during the middle ages.There are lots of underground passages built in Roman period,that are used as tourist attraction.The Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian is the most preserved Roman palace in the world.A monumental court, called the Peristyle, formed the northern access to the imperial apartments. It also gave access to Diocletian's mausoleum on the east (now Cathedral of St. Domnius), and to three temples on the west (two of which are now lost, the third having become a baptistery, originally being the temple of Jupiter). There is a temple just to the west of the Peristylum called The Temple of the Aesculapius, which has a semi cylindrical roof made out of hand carved stone blocks which did not leak until the 1940s, and was then covered with a lead roof. The temple was restored recently. This is how Roman palace looked before.Marjan is a hill located on the western part of the Split,it originally did not have trees,they were all planted.It is the biggest park in the Split,and one of the biggest in Croatia (if not the biggest).Under the hill are most expensive villas and houses in Split.
With lots of small churches and great view on the city,Marjan is the no.1 place for excursion. Dubrovnik and Republic Croatia Side-Trips
