You will see layers of civilizations next to each other as you cross the stunning Golden Gate or the Iron Gate, which has remained functional for seventeen centuries. In the heart of this massive palace built by Emperor Diocletian you will find the main square, called the Peristyle. There you will have the unique opportunity to see an ancient temple to Jupiter next to Egyptian sphinxes, remains of medieval houses, and even the Romanesque bell tower of the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. It’s one of the most remarkable sights in the Mediterranean! Your local guide will make sure you understand not only the history behind this unusual place, but also the daily life in Split.
