Overview

Professor of history and experienced local guide that started a new tour inside a city. Visiting Diocletians palace is great, but visiting Palace, Medieval and modern Split is even better! Feel history of roman Palace and start a journey through center of Split, filled with influence of Venice, Ottomans and Napoleon. Of course, all that with Game of Thrones locations, interesting facts and a dash of local life and legends. The tour starts from Riva promenade and goes through the cellars all the way to the main ancient square. There we have an amazing view on Cathedral and medieval palacies. On the way to Silver & Golden gates we gonna pass the narrowest street in the world. Making a wish by touching a toe of Gregori of Nin statue is a must to do in Split. After the Palace we will walk a modern main street and square and finish at main medieval square. During a walk you will get a bunch of tips what to do and where to spend time in Split. Private tours available on request.

Itinerary

Riva Harbor

We are starting our tour on Riva promenade, right next to model of Palace. Riva is where local population spend their time drinking coffee, enjoying the sun and its the place where most of the public life happens.

15 minutes
Diocletian Palace Substructures

The basement halls of Diocletian's Palace (more accurately known as the substructures), are one of the world's best-preserved complexes from the era of classical antiquity. This vast space is one of the key reasons why the historical centre of Split was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979.

10 minutes
The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace

Peristyle, as the central square of the Palace, intended for the Emperor Diocletian celebrated as the living son of Jupiter, finds its place among many temples. The Emperor would appear under the architrave of the central part of Protyron, and his subjects would approach him, kneeling down, kissing the hem of his scarlet cloak, or they would fall in front of him, their entire body to the ground.

10 minutes
N/A

The Vestibule (The Rotonda), is the first section of the imperial corridor in Diocletian's Palace that led from the Peristyle, which was once the formal entrance to the imperial apartments. Built up to the beginning of the 4th century, as the original part of the ancient palace. It is a circular hall, once topped with a dome, 17 meters in height and 12 meters in diameter. Built as a grand meeting hall only for and selected audiences such as ambassadors.

10 minutes
Cathedral of Saint Domnius

Roman temple, mausoleum and a church. Depending on how you look at it. Visit only from outside (entrance is not included) but detailed informations willl be given in case guests want to visit it after the tour.

20 minutes
Temple of Jupiter

Jupiter is the god of the sky and thunder. Supreme god in ancient Roman religion and mythology. During the history, the Temple was converted into a baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist. Visit only from outside. On our way to next location (Golden gate), we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in the world. Its name is "Let me pass street".

10 minutes
The Golden Gate

The Golden Gate or "the Northern Gate", is one of the four principal Roman gates into the old town of Split. Built as part of Diocletian's Palace, it served as the main gate through which the Emperor entered the complex and was elaborately decorated to mark its status. Over the course of the Middle Ages, the gate was sealed off and lost its columns and statuary. It was reopened and repaired in modern times and now serves as a tourist attraction.

15 minutes
Grgur Ninski Statue

The 8.5-metre (28 ft)tall statue of Gregory of Nin by Ivan Meštrović in Split is a busy tourist site in the town, which the toe of the statue shows. Rubbing the statue's toe is said to bring good luck. The toe has been worn smooth and shiny as a result.

10 minutes
Marmontova Ulica

Although a conqueror, Napoleon's marshal Marmont is responsible for the urbanisation of Dalmatian cities, in return the citizens of Split have named their most beautiful street after him.

10 minutes
Prokurative

Republic Square is a large, open square surrounded on three sides by a collection of elaborate neo-Renaissance buildings known as the Prokurative.

10 minutes
Fruit's Square (Trg Brace Radic)

The last spot of our tour. Small and beautifull square where ladies used to sell fruits. You will hear about important monuments on the square such as Marko Marulić (father of Croatian literature) statue. Its also perfect location for stories about Croatian history and gastronomy.
