A bit of context

Croatia's second-largest city, boasts a rich history dating back to the 3rd century BCE. Founded as Aspálathos, the city transformed dramatically when Roman emperor Diocletian chose it as his retirement palace in 305 CE.

Split's enduring importance lies within its very foundation. Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, forms the heart of the city, its ancient walls enclosing a vibrant maze of streets, shops, and restaurants. This remarkable fusion of Roman grandeur and modern life is what makes Split so captivating.

Beyond the palace walls, history buffs will find remnants of Roman temples and medieval churches. For those seeking natural beauty, Marjan Hill, a lush green space with panoramic views, offers a welcome respite. And no trip to Split would be complete without exploring the bustling harbor and its many islands, all easily accessible by ferry.

Split is a city that seamlessly blends the past with the present, offering a captivating mix of historical significance, cultural intrigue, and natural beauty. Welcome to a place where every corner whispers tales of emperors and empires, inviting you to explore its fascinating story.
