Split

Croatia

Split's old town is built within the walls of a Roman emperor's palace, creating a unique living monument where ancient columns frame modern cafes and medieval churches fill Roman halls.

Highlights

•Diocletian's Palace — a 4th-century Roman emperor's retirement palace now forming the living heart of Split, with 220 buildings built within its ancient walls
•Cathedral of St. Domnius — originally Emperor Diocletian's octagonal mausoleum from 305 CE, later converted to a cathedral with a Romanesque bell tower and Egyptian sphinx
•Riva waterfront promenade — a palm-lined marble promenade along the harbor, redesigned in 2007, where locals gather at outdoor cafés with views of passing ferries
•Marjan Hill park — a forested peninsula west of the Old Town with hiking trails, medieval chapels, and clifftop viewpoints overlooking the Adriatic and islands
