Welcome to Split, a 1700 years old town in which history reaches far
into ancient times!
There is no particular need to explain its attractiveness and
worthiness of sightseeing. The Split timeline started counting from
295 AC when famous Roman Emperor Diocletian started to build his
residential palace. The monumental palace is a living organism for
more than 17 centuries.
The importance of Diocletian's Palace far transcends the local
significance because of its level of preservation and because of the
string of original architectural forms that as well announce the new
Early Christian, Byzantine and early Medieval art. Over the
centuries, under the Byzantium, Venetian, Napoleon's and Habsburg
rule, Split became an imperial palace with medieval, renaissance and
baroque inlays.
Explore the historical palace, walk the path of Diocletian and
immerse into the role of the Roman Emperor! Within walking distance
of Korta Apartments, truly experience the ancient atmosphere while
touring the city's famous tourist attractions: impressive original
ruins such as the four fortification gates, the Temple of Jupiter,
famous cellars, Peristil and St. Dominus, the oldest Catholic
cathedral in the world.
Furthermore, with more than 300 sunny days per year, crystal clear
sea, beautiful nearby beaches and park-mountain Marjan, along with
numerous museums and forms of traditional, cultural or innovative
events, Split is a true Croatian tourism champion.
