Know before you go

• Split, the city chosen by Diocletian - one of the most eminent Roman emperors - as his last residence, where he built his palace at the beginning of the 4th century, still fascinates today with its beauty and preservation. It is intriguing that the mausoleum of the greatest persecutor of Christians in history became the oldest building with a living Christian cathedral in it.
