Overview

History doesn't have to be boring! This private tour of Split's Diocletian's Palace is suitable for all ages. Short and compact, but still exciting! In this guided walking tour we will start from the Riva and walk through the basements of the palace. Then we will discover the main sights of the palace. You will learn how the palace of Emperor Diocletian became a city and how his mausoleum became a cathedral. The former Temple of Jupiter, now a Christian chapel, and the Vestibule are also highlights that we will discover together. We will walk along the former main Roman streets Cardo and Decumanus and visit the city gates, including the Golden Gate. Hear many interesting anecdotes and stories about the city, its famous personalities and its inhabitants. Discover Split in a relaxed atmosphere and at your own pace. We speak fluent English, French, German and Croatian.

Itinerary

  • N/A

    We start our tour at the Riva, the promenade of Split. Tourists and locals enjoy the sun here in one of the numerous cafes and restaurants. It's "see and be seen" here.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    Diocletian's Palace was built and inhabited by the eponymous Roman Emperor Diocletian over 1700 years ago. Today the palace is not a museum in the classical sense. Inside the palace walls there are houses and stores and there is a bustle of activity.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    Through the south gate we enter the cellars of the palace. The cellars, like the palace, were built more than 1700 years ago and are very well preserved. Here we get a very good impression of what dimensions the palace had.

    5 minutes

  • The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace

    The Peristyle was the sacral meeting place in the time of Diocletian. Here he showed himself to his subjects and had himself worshipped as the son of the Roman god Jupiter.

    10 minutes

  • Cathedral of Saint Domnius

    Split Cathedral was for some time the mausoleum of the late Emperor Diocletian. In the course of Christianization the coffin and mortal remains of the emperor disappeared and the pagan mausoleum became a Christian cathedral. We will have a look at the cathedral from the outside. There is no entrance fee to pay.

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    The Silver Gate is the east gate of the palace. It was walled up several times over the centuries and was reopened in the 1940s. Today the gate leads to the market, where local products are offered.

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    Triclinium is Latin and means dining room. Here Diocletian dined with his guests. On the table were mainly Mediterranean dishes. Besides local wine and fish, honey was also very popular. Often up to 20 different courses were served in one evening.

    10 minutes

  • Vestibulum of Diocletian's Palace

    The vestibule was the entrance area to Diocletian's private chambers.

    5 minutes

  • Temple of Jupiter

    The temple of Jupiter is now a baptistery. We will have a look at the temple from the outside. There is no entrance fee.

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    The Iron Gate is the west gate of the palace. Like the North and East Gates, the West Gate was built as a double gate, called Propugnaculum. In the area between the two gates, the enemy could be trapped and hit with stones, arrows and hot oil. Leaving the gate, we enter the beautiful square "Pjaca".

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    The north gate of the palace was the most important gate in Roman times. From here the road led to the city of Salona, the capital of the Roman province.

    5 minutes

  • Green Market

    On the east side of the palace is the Green Market. Every day fresh fruits, vegetables and also other traditional foods are sold here.

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    Following the walls of the palace, we are reaching the promenade again. Tourists and locals enjoy the sun here in one of the numerous cafes and restaurants. It's "see and be seen" here.
