"The Silver Gate, also known as Porta Argentea, is the eastern gate of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia. Built in the 4th century AD, it was one of the four main entrances to the palace complex. While likely not literally made of silver, it held importance as a grand entry point.
The Silver Gate features arches and niches that once held statues. Over the centuries, it has seen many uses, including being used by Pope John Paul II in his popemobile during his visit to Split in 2000. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination and a significant landmark within Split."

"This gate has less decorative features than the Golden Gate, as it was designed with more defensive features with an inner and outer door. The gate was closed off for a period until the 1950s where it was restored. The story for this gate continues as it was the entrance used by Pope John Paul II when he visited Split in 2000. "
