Split - Peristil
Grad | Trg Peristil
Diocletian's Palace, ancient palace built for the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, which today forms about half the old town of Split.
A monumental court, called the Peristyle, formed the Northern access to the imperial apartments. It also gave access to Diocletian's mausoleum on the East (today the Cathedral of Saint Domnius), and to three temples on the West (two of which are now lost, with the third, originally being the temple of Jupiter, becoming a baptistery).
