Welcome to my hometown, welcome to Split! Split is the biggest city on the Croatian coast and one of the most historical places on the Mediterranean. We will explore together the compact, pedestrianized center of town, almost entirely preserved 4th century Diocletian's palace, its basements, as well as the St. Domnius cathedral. We will walk through the palace fortifications and gates, visit the medieval Jewish ghetto (and the 16th cent. synagogue and Old Jewish cemetery, if you are interested in Jewish history) and admire one of the main symbols of Split - its main promenade, the seafront - Riva. I will share the story of the life of Diocletian - of one of the most successful Roman emperors, but also the worst Christian persecutor ever. You will learn how the palace of Diocletian was turned into a medieval Christian town and. . . yes. . . why we have the oldest cathedral building in the world (!) You also might be interested to hear why is Split considered to be the sportiest town in the world. . .
All of my tours are completely flexible - the clients are the ones who would decide about the pace, the preferred sights to visit, about the breaks, photo stops, etc. However, the general tour highlights you can find below: HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: -The historical complex of the Old town Split with the Palace of Diocletian (4th cent. AD), -Palace basements, the incredibly preserved part of the Diocletian's Palace -Cathedral of St Domnius & the ancient Temple of Jupiter (Medieval / Early Christian baptistery), -The most impressive ancient square -Peristyle -Famous Riva - the City coastal promenade -Pjaca square - the first medieval square built out of the Palace walls -The Fruit square - the second medieval square -Golden Gate with the Grgur Ninski statue, -Medieval Jewish Ghetto (and the 16th cent. synagogue - 3rd oldest in Europe!), and 16th cent. Jewish cemetery, if you are into Jewish history -Walk to hill Marjan viewpoint (if you are fine with a short hike uphill)
