1. Split City Tour
The tour starts with a panoramic drive through the town. First we will stop at the Mestrovic Gallery – Ivan Mestrovic is the greatest Croatian sculptor of all times. A large part of his impressive work is displayed here in his house that is today a gallery. We will then drive to just in front of the Old Town.
Today’s Split is the product of 17 centuries of building, renovating and remodeling so that the new of today meshes with the old of yesterday. At the core of this sprawling cityscape is the palace that Emperor Diocletian built for his golden years at the turn of the 4th century.
What began as an imperial residence and a fortified camp is today an intriguing warren of narrow cobblestone streets, where pre-Romanesque churches live alongside Gothic chapels, history-filled museums and galleries of contemporary art and delicious-smalling restaurants compete with bustling cafes for the attention of passers-by.
The Old Town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace erected by the Roman Emperor Diocletian (born in Salona – today’s Solin) in the 4th century. The walking tour starts with walking through the Cellars of the Palace that are still very well preserved. The cellars offer a good view at how the life in the Palace was organized.
The walking tour continues with the visit to the Ethnographical Museum which is situated in the very heart of Diocletian’s Palace, actually in the Emperor’s Apartment. Museum itself is very interesting since a combination of a beautiful medieval house and imperial rooms. We will also visit te very interesting Cathedral of St. Duje (patron saint of the city).
The Cathedral is built on the remains of an ancient shrine and is supposed to be the oldest in the world. A visit will also be made to the charming Temple of Jupiter. Other sights such as the Golden Gate, the Silver Gate, the Peristyle Square etc will be seen from the outside.
