Top Sights
Diocletian's Palace
This ancient complex was built by a Roman emperor over 1,700 years ago and is now part of a modern city. The walls, gates, and cellars are still standing, and people actually live and work inside. It’s like walking through a real-life history book, but with cafes and shops mixed in.
Split Riva
This long, palm-lined promenade stretches along the waterfront and is the main spot for walking, people-watching, and chilling by the sea. It’s where locals hang out, grab coffee, and enjoy the view of the harbor. The area is surrounded by old stone buildings, cafes, and has a chill Mediterranean vibe.
Saint Domnius Cathedral
This cathedral is one of the oldest in the world, originally built as a Roman emperor’s mausoleum in the 4th century. Over time, it was transformed into a Christian church, and today it stands as a mix of Roman and medieval architecture. The bell tower, added in the Middle Ages, is a major landmark and can be seen from all over the city.
Mestrovic Gallery
This gallery is a museum dedicated to the works of one of the most important sculptors from the region. The building itself was designed by the artist, and it sits in a peaceful area surrounded by gardens and views of the sea. Inside, you’ll find a collection of sculptures, drawings, furniture, and architecture that show the artist’s unique style and creativity.
Peristil
This ancient square sits at the heart of a Roman palace, surrounded by columns and stone arches that have stood for over 1,700 years. It’s a spot where history feels close, with old stones under your feet and impressive architecture all around. The area is a mix of Roman, medieval, and modern influences, making it a unique place to see how different eras blend together.
