Another visit to Split (I’m sure that is not the last one). Split is the largest Dalmatian city, the second-largest urban centre in Croatia, situated on the shores of the Mediterranean also one of the oldest cities in the area just over 1,700 years old, The location chosen by the great reformer of the late Roman Empire the Roman Emperor Diocletian for retirement.
The Split Rock is located at Clachtoll Beach in the far North West Highlands of Scotland and is a feature of the Northern Scotland Geopark.

Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.
The Fresnel lens assembly and 1,000 watt bulb at the top of the lighthouse. The 1,500 pound assembly floats in 250 pounds of mercury used as a bearing surface.

In 2011 Split, Croatia briefly featured in most of world's media. Not for the architecture, Festival of Mediterranean Film, Roman palace or 140% rise in room nights from tourism but for the horrific treatment of the first Split Gay Pride. Stones, firecrackers, spitting and Nazi salute chanting of 10000 angry citizens greeted just 300 pride participants. It was a very dark day in the history of my city.
Fast forward 2012.. I woke up today thinking ah.. going for a coffee and then off to get stoned.. The day of Split Pride 2012 arrived. This time it was better, bigger and 100% safe. New coalition government has shown the full commitment to human rights and this time made sure that Pride was a success. Split was a better place today then a year ago and so is the whole of Croatia.
