Grad Split Essentials

This collection centers on the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that forms the living heart of Split. The list covers the palace's four monumental Roman gates, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, and specialized cultural sites like the Ivan Meštrović Gallery and the Game of Thrones Museum. Beyond the Roman ruins, it includes the vibrant Green Market and the Marjan peninsula, which offers limestone climbing routes and forested trails overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
