SPLIT - DID YOU KNOW?

Diocletian’s Palace dominates the Old Town in Split, making up a full city in miniature with its bars, hotels, restaurants, and flats. The complex was constructed 2000 years ago thanks to the efforts of 20,000 slaves for the Emperor Diocletian. Extraordinarily well-preserved, it’s definitely a must-visit site when you’re in Split. And if you can’t get enough of the Roman history here, don’t miss a visit to the Split Archaeological Museum! You’ll see a treasure trove of Roman coins here.

Away from the palace, take a stroll along Split’s picturesque waterfront. You’ll find plenty of bustling cafes and bars here to stop and admire the view of the turquoise Adriatic waters. For a little beach time, head to the Blue-Flag Bacvice Beach. Although it’s more pebbly than sandy, it’s still good for a swim to cool down in the summer months.

Explore Split’s culture with a visit to the Mestrovic Gallery, dedicated to the works and life of Ivan Mestrovic. He was one of the city’s most famous artists, gaining notoriety within Croatia as well as internationally during the late 1800s and early 1900s. View his portraits and statues, housed in the neoclassical villa that he designed and built nearly 100 years ago.
