Historic Sites

Split's historic center is anchored by the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that retains much of its original Roman layout. This selection includes the monumental Golden, Silver, and Bronze gates that served as the palace's primary defensive entrances. Beyond the walls, the 9-kilometer Roman aqueduct showcases ancient engineering, while Ivan Meštrović's sculptures of Gregory of Nin and Marko Marulić represent the city’s transition from Roman rule to its medieval and Renaissance identity.

D

Gregory of Nin

A massive bronze statue by Ivan Meštrović depicting the 10th-century bishop who advocated for the use of the Slavic language in liturgy. The statue's polished big toe is a result of a popular local tradition of rubbing it for luck.

E

The eastern entrance to the palace, which historically connected the main street to the town market. It was reconstructed in the 1950s after being cleared of later medieval additions to reveal its original Roman structure.
