The story of Split began when Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to build a palace for his retirement days here, on a peninsula close to the great Roman city of Salona. Many centuries later, that palace and the city that was born within its walls was to become part of UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Walking around this ancient city is like travelling through time, from antique-era Aspalathos to modern day Split. You will enjoy outstanding architecture, visiting museums and numerous events. At the same time, Split will absorb you into its special state of mind.
No matter how magnificent it is, Split is much more than just an architectural setting. It's a city where you can enjoy top-notch gastronomy, film, theatre, music festivals and exhibitions. It's also a city which offers a lot of entertainment. And if you want to avoid the urban bustle, there is the green oasis of Marjan forest park and kilometres of beaches giving onto crystal clear water.
With all this, don't be surprised when the people of Split, with all possible enthusiasm, explain to you that you have just arrived at the centre of the world.
