Day 01
Discover Split's Roman and Venetian Heritage
- We will begin our tour from the central waterfront of Riva. Entering 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 still inhabited by locals. We will exit through the Vestibul and reach the central square, Peristyle.
- Take in a breathtaking view of what was once Diocletian's mausoleum, today the Cathedral of St. Domnius, one of the best-preserved outdoor Roman monuments in Split. Then, we will continue towards the Temple of Jupiter. As we pass through medieval streets full of charming shops and restaurants, we will reach the Golden Gate, the northern entrance to the city, famous for being home to a massive statue of Bishop Grgur Ninski.
- After stepping out of the Roman palace, we will enter the Venetian part of the city, constructed in the 15th century. Moving through the picturesque streets connecting the area's two main squares, Pjaca and Fruit Square, we will complete a full circle around the historic core as we return to the waterfront. Finally, the tour ends at the most beautiful outdoor living room - Riva - with a view of the port of Split.
