Split, the second-largest city in Croatia, is a blend of modern times and the past. Split is worth a visit when you are in Croatia. With Roman-era ruins, a busy waterfront, and fresh seafood offered daily at many of the town’s restaurants.

The history of Split dates back more than 17 centuries, to the time when the Roman Emperor Diocletian chose to build his palace on a peninsula next to the famous Roman city Salona, where he intended to spend his final years. Over 1700 years, the Palace gradually transformed into a city that still entices people with its illustrious past, rich traditions, and stunning natural and cultural heritage.

This palace still has all of the historical layers that date back to ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, and the present. A stroll through the historic city transports you back in time. Passing by magnificent specimens of ancient structures such as the Peristyle, an aging Romanesque church, and Gothic palace, Renaissance doorways leading to aristocratic residences, Baroque facades, and contemporary buildings expertly blended into the rich legacy.

In Split, the Mediterranean lifestyle is reflected in daily routine. Locals give visitors the idea that they have integrated themselves into Split’s culture by dining at the same restaurants, shopping at the same shops, and sitting in the same cafes as visitors.
