What is good to know if travelling to Split?

  • Diocletian’s Palace, built toward the end of the fourth century and beginning of the fifth century AD by Roman emperor Diocletian, is one of the region’s most important historic sites. It is the world’s most complete set of Roman palace ruins, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Monument in 1979. Such is its iconic status that its image even features on Croatian banknotes. 
  • The Ivan Mestrovic Gallery is an art museum dedicated to the work of Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic and contains 192 of his sculptures, 583 drawings, four paintings, 291 architectural plans and two furniture sets. The museum also contains exhibits detailing the artist’s life and work, including items such as personal correspondences to friends and family, which allow visitors an intimate glimpse into the mind of the fascinating artist. 
  • Stari Pazar (or Green Market) is a large, bustling open-air street market located near the Silver Gate of Diocletian’s Palace. All manner of items are available here, from local produce and household items to clothes and souveneirs. 
  • Split Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St Domnius, lies within the grounds of Diocletian’s Palace and was originally the Roman emperor’s mausoleum. Over the centuries, it was further adapted toward its new role, with the Romanesque bell tower added in the 12th century. This tower offers great views of the city and is a prominent symbol of Split. 
  • Marjan, a hill on the coast in the south of Split, is a wonderful oasis of greenery located only a short walk from the historic centre of the city. Popular among joggers and hikers, this Mediterranean pine forest has been a place of relaxation and recreation since Roman times.
