About Spalato

Spalato, vivace porto dalmata nato dentro e attorno al palazzo di un imperatore romano, con traghetti per le più belle isole croate.

Il Palazzo di Diocleziano, costruito intorno all'inizio del IV secolo come residenza di ritiro dell'imperatore, è la città vecchia stessa: le sue mura, le cantine e i cortili ospitano abitazioni, negozi e caffè. Il Peristilio, il cuore porticato, conduce alla Cattedrale di San Doimo, un tempo mausoleo dell'imperatore, e il suo campanile offre viste sui tetti.
