Diocletian’s Palace

The imposing Diocletian’s Palace complex stands at the historic center of Split. It consists of a warren of buildings constructed in the 4th century by the eponymous Roman emperor as his retirement home and military lodgings. At one point, it was home to 9,000 citizens. Today, the complex’s narrow stone streets are occupied by bars, restaurants, shops and museums that highlight the palace’s heritage. It can be tricky to navigate but that is part of the experience.
