Full description
Discover the remains of Diocletian's Palace, built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the 4th century AD. Now part of the old town of Split, the imperial palace was built in preparation for the emperor's retirement in 305 AD. Visit different areas of the complex, such as the cellars and monumental Peristyle courtyard. Look at the emperor's private observatory and see the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, originally built as Diocletian's Mausoleum. Discover the site of the Temple of Jupiter and Baptistery, and the original Bronze Gate, Silver Gate, Golden Gate and Iron Gate that provided access to the city. Discover a refuge for the noblewomen of Split at the Benedictine Monastery of St. Arnir, admire the original 15th-century Town Hall and marvel at the Baroque monuments of Fruit Square (Voćni trg).

Tour was brilliant and our tour guide Magdalena was outstanding. She is knowledgeable, fun and very attentive. We all enjoyed time spent with her and it was just the right amount of information and time that you can undertake on a very hot day at Split.

The tour was a fantastic entry into the history of Split and especially the old town and into the medieval parts. Duje was a fantastic guide with quick wit and clear, precise facts about many different parts of the tour stops (Palace, squares, statues and the like). We’d recommend this for any one who would like to learn a little bit about the city they’re visiting but treat it as a launching point to then go and buy tickets to enter the specific parts of the Palace.

I got lost and was 45 minutes later than the scheduled booking. The host organised another guide who took me around the palace. My guide was absolutely wonderful and the experience was nothing short of a pleasure. I would highly recommend to anybody coming to split.
