This leaf can't decide whether it should keep its summer color of green or begin turning to its red autumn color. Spotted this while walking with my dog, Gracie, one evening. A few days later on 8/19. this tree was split down the middle by lightening during a storm. Farewell to a lovely tree.
Split, the largest city of Dalmatia, was (just like neighbouring Trogir) as the Greek colony in the 4th century BC. Roman emperor Diocletian had a palace built as a retirement residence near Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia at that time.
After the Romans abandoned the site, the Palace remained empty for several centuries, but when Salona was sacked by Avars and Slavs in the 7th century, the walled Palace of Diocletian was settled by refugees from Salona.
Since the the palace has been occupied, with residents making their homes and businesses within the palace basement and directly in its walls. Today the remains of the palace form about half the old town and city center of Split.
In 1979 the historic center of Split was included into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Next to the Cathedral of Saint Domnius ("Katedrala Svetog Duje"), in the center of ancient Diocletian's Palace, is this large rotunda, the center part of the dome got lost over the centuries, so the tourists can see the top of the Catherdal´s campanile from inside the building.
