Itinerario

1. Diocletian’s Cellars are among the best-preserved Roman underground structures in the world. They once supported the emperor’s private quarters above and were used for storage and daily palace operations. Today, they reveal the architectural brilliance of the Romans and offer a glimpse into life within the ancient palace.

2. The Peristyle is the central square of Diocletian’s Palace and served as the ceremonial heart of the imperial residence. Surrounded by grand colonnades, it was where the emperor appeared as a living god to be worshipped by citizens. Today, it remains a stunning example of Roman architecture and a vibrant gathering place in the historic core of Split.

3. The Vestibule was the grand entrance to the emperor’s private quarters within Diocletian’s Palace. Its circular shape and soaring dome created a dramatic transition from the public Peristyle to the private imperial residence. Even today, its acoustics and monumental form impress visitors and echo the power of Roman architecture.

4. The Golden Gate was the main northern entrance to Diocletian’s Palace, reserved for the emperor and high-ranking officials. Flanked by guard towers, it symbolized imperial authority and was part of the palace’s elaborate defensive system. Today, it stands as a majestic reminder of Roman power and urban planning in ancient Split.

5. The Temple of Jupiter was constructed between 295 and 305 as part of Diocletian's Palace. It was dedicated to the supreme Roman god and Diocletian's "divine father", Jupiter. The temple is located in the western, religious part of the palace. Since the Emperor unexpectedly abdicated the throne in 305 and arrived at the palace from Nicomedia earlier, finishing work on the construction of the Palace was stopped so parts of the Temple remained unfinished.

About Split

Split, animado puerto dálmata construido dentro y alrededor del palacio de un emperador romano, con ferris a las islas más bellas de Croacia.

El Palacio de Diocleciano, construido hacia el cambio al siglo IV como residencia de retiro del emperador, es el casco antiguo mismo: sus muros, sótanos y patios albergan viviendas, tiendas y cafés. El Peristilo, el corazón de columnatas, conduce a la Catedral de San Domnio, antaño mausoleo del emperador, y su campanario ofrece vistas sobre los tejados.
