About Diocletian’s Palace

Roman Emperor Diocletian’s desire was to spend his retirement years right here, in the serene and picturesque town of Split. His Palace also served as a military fortress; the precision and astonishing beauty with which it was erected, however, brought the Emperor to use it mostly for his personal wishes and desires. Built right on the coastal area of Split, the Emperor did not spare any sort of opulence: white stone, marble, sphinxes, and columns were the at the center of everything. This massive structure that takes up about half of the Old Town perimeter, will make it hard for you to realize that it was only machine-precision human labor that made this retirement home dream come to life.

  • Take time sit there, drink coffy, enjoy in details of Diocletian’s Palace. 
  • Make sure you get Kuna before you go to eat. Lots of places dont take cards. Remember to avoid the BLUE AND YELLOW arm's. They charge an exorbitant exchange rate. 
  • There is an ATM right at the end of the Plaza that is Green and White, it is attached to an actual bank. Always get your Kuna from these places (this applies to all of Europe).....DO NOT exchange monies at the airport either.
  • On Dominisova, near the garden, is a fountain with water from the roman aquaduct and it is nice and cool to have a drink, splash on your face and fill your water bottle - free of charge and safe to drink of course!
