Overview

I’m Mili, a lifelong resident of Split and your tour guide. Join me as we explore Diocletian's Palace, delving into its origins, evolution over the centuries, and its deep connection to the city of Split. We’ll visit the palace’s surviving sections, which have stood for 17 centuries, and discover how other parts have been seamlessly integrated into the modern city built around it. My tour is designed to present all the essential information in a clear and engaging way, with a touch of light humor to enhance the experience. If you're curious and want to dive deeper, I'll gladly provide additional insights—questions are always welcome! If you're looking to learn about the palace and the city in a fun, casual atmosphere, this tour is perfect for you!

Itinerary

  • The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace

    We will start at the Peristyle of the Palace, learning about the history of Diocletian and how this palace came to be.

    20 minutes

  • Diocletian Palace Substructures

    We'll go through the free part of the substructures, and learn more of the palace's architecture and history. Optionally, should you decide to see more, you can buy the tickets for the museum part of the substructures and we'll go through the rest of them, which will add some 20 or so minutes to the tour.

    10 minutes

  • Cathedral of Saint Domnius

    The Cathedral of Saint Domnius is one of the best preserved Roman structures, built as part of Diocletian's Palace. As such, we'll learn of it's history as well. And should you have a ticket for the cathedral, we'll go inside as well, to see how a Roman tomb was converted into a christian cathedral, adding 10 more minutes to the tour.

    10 minutes

  • Temple of Jupiter

    Another fantastically preserved Roman structure is the Temple of Jupiter, their chief deity. It too has been repurposed by the church, and so still remains in good condition. Should you have a ticket to visit the small interior, we will do so, otherwise we'll learn all the important information outside.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    The south eastern corner of the palace has been mostly destroyed, but due to the way it had been constructed, an accurate partial reconstruction was made, where we'll get an impression of how Diocletian might have lived here.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    The Papalić alleyway has a few interesting facts that we will learn as we're heading through the north half of the palace.

    15 minutes

  • Fruit's Square (Trg Brace Radic)

    On the square outside the palace we'll learn of an important period of Croatian history, while also seeing how the palace has been integrated into newer buildings, and still exists in that state today.

    15 minutes

  • The Golden Gate

    Nearing the end of the tour, we'll see the northern gate of the palace, also called the Golden Gate. There we'll learn more of the palace's fortifications, and how they were changed between their construction and the present day.

    10 minutes

  • Grgur Ninski Statue

    Last stop of the tour is outside the northern gate of the palace, where we'll consolidate what we've learned of the roman construction. Dominating this space is a bronze statue of an important bishop from Croatian history, and as we learn of him, we'll wrap up the history of Croatia so far.

Diocletian Palace private tour

Published on May, 2025

Mili was my tour operator. He was very good and very well prepared and had an excellent background to provide a very comprehensive tour of the Diocletian Palace. In addition he had surrounding history points that made the tour very interesting and put everything in perspective. He went above and beyond.

Diocletian’s Palace

Published on Sep, 2024

Mili provided an amazing walking tour for me, my family and some friends. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area and of the palace. His photo book was useful for helping to visualise what the palace would have looked like when it was built. He was absolutely fantastic and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
