Rute

1. The main entrance to Diocletian's Palace with beautiful niches once adorned with statues of Roman emperors and inside with a built-in mechanism of double doors known as the "human mousetrap."

   15 min

2. The main square of the palace, the site where Diocletian's mausoleum is located, today the Cathedral of St. Domnius—as well as a 3,500-year-old sphinx that poses a riddle.

   15 min

3. Here we will watch a video of the Unsullied battling the Sons of the Harpy, and an a cappella group will sing Dalmatian songs live for us.

   5 min

4. Once the temple of the main Roman god Jupiter, now the baptistery of St. John, at its entrance, guards a 3500-year-old headless sphinx.

   5 min

5. The well-preserved substructures of the palace, once used as storage and service areas, today offer a fascinating glimpse into the original layout of Diocletian’s imperial residence. In the dark dungeons, Daenerys Targaryen kept her dragons chained, their control slipping away. It was there that slaves hid while plotting their rebellion to break free from their masters' oppression.

   20 min

6. The city’s main waterfront promenade, once the ceremonial approach to Diocletian’s Palace, today a vibrant meeting place lined with palm trees, cafés, and the rhythm of everyday Split life.

   15 min

7. Rub Gregory’s toe and make a wish, and we will explain why this medieval bishop played such an important role in the development of the Croatian language and national identity.

   5 min

8. Let’s walk along the northern wall of the palace and look both outside and inside, discovering the sophisticated defensive mechanism of the double gates leading into the emperor’s residence, and observing the transformation from a mythological pagan city into a Christian and medieval one, where 2,000-year-old stone still tells the story of history.

   30 minEntré inkluderet

9. The Middle Ages begin with the arrival of the Croats, and we will talk about the curse of a Croatian king, the attacks of the Venetians and the Ottomans, and modern history reflected in the architectural changes of the city.

About Split

Split er en travl dalmatinsk havneby bygget i og omkring en romersk kejsers palads, med færger til nogle af Kroatiens smukkeste øer.

Diocletians Palads, bygget omkring år 300 som kejserens pensionistbolig, er selve den gamle by: dens mure, kældre og gårdhaver rummer boliger, butikker og caféer. Peristylen, det søjleprydede hjerte, fører til Sankt Domnius-katedralen, engang kejserens mausoleum, og dens klokketårn giver udsigt over tagene.

Top-ranked sights in Split: Budikovac Island (Veliki Budikovac), Blue Lagoon Croatia (Krknjasi Bay), Peristyle Square (Peristil).
