Your tour begins at the pier in Port Split, from where you’ll head towards the grounds of the Imperial Palace. Built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the end of the 3rd century, the remains of this huge structure make up half of Old Split and are one of the world’s best preserved examples of Roman architecture.
Delve deeper into the inner workings of the palace with an exclusive visit to the cellars, a set of substructures that once supported the Emperor’s private apartments. Information boards and artefacts positioned throughout these basement halls provide a fascinating insight into palace life.
Next, it’s on to the architectural delights of the Cathedral of St Dominus (known locally as Sveti Duje) and the Temple of Jupiter – both timeless symbols of Split’s cultural heritage and religious significance. Admire the cathedral’s church and 12th century bell tower, and the reliefs depicting gods and heroes that stand at the entrance to the temple.
