Den store havneby Split (200.000 indbyggere) er udgangspunkt for færger til mange adriaterhavsøer og er nok Kroatiens mest interessante by. Den er opstået inden for murene af et romersk palads, som kejser Diokletian lod bygge til sig selv omkring 300 e.Kr. Bymuren langs promenaden er således den antikke paladsmur.
The big seaport of Split (200,000 inhabitants) is the starting point for ferries to many Adriatic islands and is probably the most interesting city of Croatia. It has arisen within the walls of a Roman palace that Emperor Diocletian had built for himself around 300 AD. The city wall along the promenade is thus the antique palace wall.

Sie ist innerhalb der Mauern eines Römischen Palastes entstanden, den Kaiser Diokletian um 300 n.Chr. für sich selbst erbauen ließ. Die Stadtmauer der Promenade entlang ist somit die antike Palastmauer.

“I started off behind the camera, as a producer and camera operator. I hadn't considered presenting, but I had to fill-in on behalf of another presenter at the last minute once. After I brought the piece back, the boss said I could do that from now on, and that's how I started presenting!
I moved to Leeds only a few months ago. I was living in Manchester with my girlfriend and I’d been commuting for a long time. She was trying to persuade me to leave the job. She felt I was giving too much of my life to it. My view was that now is the time to do everything I can about my career. I don’t want to reach an age where I’ve not taken the opportunities. It was weird, we never had the big fight. It was a slow drifting apart. She told me she was going to stay at her mum’s for a week, and I moved out sometime later when the tenancy ran out. It was difficult because we both cared for each other a great deal. You go from a situation where you're seeing someone, talking to them, sharing a meal with them, waking up next to them every single day, to never seeing them again. You separate your life, you split it in half, and you attempt to move on."

Wandering around Split waiting for our apartment to be ready for us.
Not sure if the lean is because I'm on a lean, I'm at an angle or is a camera artifact.

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.
Looking out of the window on an bleak morning. Pouring rain outside. In the backdrop the cathedral´s campanile. The right structure caught my eye - and so I decided to climb up to the little roof terrace of the building to have a better overview.
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.
