Diocletian's Palace - cellars

The Podrumi is often called the "basement halls" and it is here where you will find the remains of Diocletian's residential complex. Guided tours are available so that one may learn more about the construction of the halls as well as recent archaeological findings. Ancient stone carvings and other curiosities await you underground. In addition, the Croatian Association of Visual Art, HULU, also uses the halls as an exhibition space. As if that weren't enough, the basement halls are also home to various vendors selling jewelry, clothing, and other local trinkets.

Diocletian's Palace

Diocletian's Palace is one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the city and overlooks the Adriatic sea along the Dalmatian coast. While there is much to say about Emperor Diocletian himself, he is best remembered for his palace, which served as a residence, military camp and religious site. The palace is surrounded by a fortification of stone walls that shelter the stunning Silver, Golden, Brass, and Iron Gate. The palace is the local and tourist centerpiece of Split and today houses a whole range of attractions within its grounds from history museums and galleries, to cafes, hotels and farmer's markets. The palace grounds are also a popular event venue, hosting various cultural extravaganzas, such as the widely celebrated 'Ten Days of Diocletian' annual summer festival.

Gregory of Nin

Grgur Ninskog (Gregory of Nin) is known as the father of the Croatian language. He was a 10th-century bishop known for his opposition of the pope at a time when Latin was the primary language of religious worship. Grgur championed the old Slavic languages and promoted the development of a national language. This statue was raised in 1929 in honor of Ninskog, by Ivan Mestrovic, another renowned Croatian figure known for his intricately-crafted sculptures. It stands 27-feet tall (8.5 meters) over a thick marble platform. The statue originally stood in the heart of the Diocletian's Palace until 1954, but today it watches over the city's Golden Gate. Over the years, locals came to believe that touching Grgur's toe would bring them good fortune and has since been a cultural souvenir that tourists can experience.

Fruit Square

This square is home to the statue of Marko Marulić, a literary figure of Croatia known as the "Father of the Croatian Renaissance." The statue was created by Ivan Meštrović, another popular Croatian artist. Additionally, there are various shops in the square, including Znanstvena Knjižar, a Croatian bookstore, the 15th-century Venetian Kaštel, and Milesi Palace. This square is called the Fruit Square due to the fruit market that once surrounded the area.

Palom Pomorcu and Old Lighthouse

If you find yourself wandering away from the Palace, along the neighboring beaches to the west, make your way up the cliff in the Bačvice district. You cannot miss the old lighthouse, which is an incredibly high lighthouse, and the nearby Palom Pomorcu memorial (World War II memorial). This area was used during World War II as a refuge point. In addition to the significance of these two landmarks, the view from this cliff is spectacular. Here you can also explore and find passage ways down the cliff, which will lead you to the sea. Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, bask in the beauty of the Dalmatian coast.
