As we walk through its bustling streets, we explore ancient Roman architecture, lively squares, and hidden courtyards, discovering how history blends seamlessly with modern life in this energetic city. The Diocletian Palace is one of the best preserved pieces of Roman architecture representing both a luxury villa and a Roman military camp. Over the centuries, the palace was adapted by its inhabitants and today it shows a mixture of Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and more contemporary styles with ornaments from Ancient Egypt. The Imperial Palace fascinates its visitors as it is an open museum and if you are attentive enough, you will hear the Emperor's voice greeting his people. After visiting the most famous landmarks of the city, you will have free time for lunch and leisure in Split.
