Split is a city in Central Dalmatia, Croatia, and the seat of the Split-Dalmatia county. The city was built around the Diocletian palace (a palace/fort built for the retired Roman emperor Diocletian) where the locals sought refuge centuries ago. Wandering the historic centre of Split you can still clearly see the Roman walls, squares, and temples. The heart of Split is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Diocletian's Palace. Built by the Roman emperor Diocletian in the 4th century, the palace complex is a remarkable blend of Roman, Byzantine, and medieval architecture. Within the palace walls, you'll find narrow streets, hidden courtyards, shops, cafes, and a vibrant atmosphere. Don't miss the well-preserved Peristyle Square, the Cathedral of St. Domnius (originally Diocletian's mausoleum), and the underground cellars.
