Originally the palatial summer residence of the Emperor Diocletian, Split was founded in the fourth century and remains one of the best preserved examples of medieval times today. The city bears a remarkable ensemble of Roman, Gothic, Romanesque, Renaissance and other architectural antiquities and the meandering walled streets of the old town swell with rich heritage and local traditions. Split is, in itself, a piece of living history; not only for its ancient marble-lined streets and alleyways, yet for the 3,000 people who still live their daily lives within the palace walls.
Explore the city with your private guide, discovering the beauty of Diocletian's Palace, Peristil Square, St Domnius Cathedral and the Riva waterfront promenade. On your way through Split's ancient winding streets, visit the city's vibrant food and fish market and stop to taste traditional Dalmatian delicacies made by local producers.
