Der Diokletianpalast (kroatisch Dioklecijanova palača) ist ein antiker Baukomplex, der als Alterssitz für den römischen Kaiser Diokletian diente, welcher als einziger römischer Kaiser 305 n. Chr. freiwillig aus dem Amt schied. Der Diokletianpalast bildet heute die Innenstadt der kroatischen Hafenstadt Split und wurde nach der Römerzeit zu einer bewohnten Festung umgewandelt, welche in der Folge an unterschiedliche kulturelle Einflüsse angepasst wurde.

Diocletian's Palace is a building in Split, Croatia, that was built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD.
Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305 AD. It lies in a bay on the south side of a short peninsula running out from the Dalmatian coast, four miles from Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The terrain slopes gently seaward and is typical karst, consisting of low limestone ridges running east to west with marl in the clefts between them.

Tadpoles in Week 3 - jelly sacs split open or have been under attack from larvae.
They have hatched at different times and some are still little black dots inside their protective jelly sacs whilst others have grown tails and are swimming about.
There is a tadpole in this short clip playing submarines as it learns about buoyancy.
A couple of hard frosts may have taken a toll on the eggs in their jelly sacs.
Another visit to Split (I’m sure that is not the last one).
