Grad | Hrvojeva
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.
Porta orientalis was used to enter the palace from the east towards the west, through the main street, decumanus, all the way to the Iron Gate and to Pjaca, the central city square.
The Silver Gate was closed from the Middle Ages till 1952, only to be thoroughly reconstructed during the destruction of the Baroque church Dušica.
Split is one of Croatia's bigger cities and has an interesting old town. We were able to see the majority of the sights in three quarters of a day's relaxed exploration and spent the remaining quarter drinking excellent Croatian coffee and beer.

The history of Split is over-flowingly rich and turbulent to fit in just a couple of sentences. Although the Split area was earlier inhabited by the Greek colonies, Emperor Diocletian should be considered its first citizen and founder, starting his lavish villa of around 300 square meters near the great city of Salona in 293 AD, only to retire from the Roman throne within its walls after building it for ten years.
Turbulent centuries that followed turned the villa into a city, conceived by the fugitive inhabitants of Salona who fled from the Avars and Slavs. Many authorities changed hands in the city which, in the years to come, grew beyond the Palace walls, from the Croatian Kings in the 10th century, through the Hungarian and Venetian administration, to the French rulers and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Modern age and the 20th century "moved" Split from the kingdom of Yugoslavia, through tragic, yet heroic times of the Italian and German occupation during the Second World War when Split was one of the centres of anti-fascist resistance, to the Socialist Yugoslavia and the present period of the free and independent Croatia, member of the European Union.
Tumultuous history leaves its trace in the everyday life of the city that always moved steadily forward, remaining the centre of this part of the coast to this day. In those mixtures of history layers, clumsiness was inevitable, sometimes even rashness in development, but today it is all a part of its originality. Great city beats today with the silent whisper of history, the lively spirit of youth and charm of the Mediterranean yet in every way also Croatian warmth...

Grad | Dioklecijanova ul.
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.
Porta Septemtrionalis. Emperor Diocletian walked through them as he entered the Palace on June 1, 305. They were built in the shape of a rectangle, with double doors, as part of the defensive military tactics (propugnaculum).
The facade was decorated with niches containing figure sculptures of the four tetrarchs (Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius and Constantius Chlorus).
Under the influence of Venice, in the 16th century, the gates change their name to Porta Aurea or Golden Gates, and this name stayed with them to this day.
Split Mountain – solo trip (duh, was the only one among my pals who never did it). The easiest 14er with with some light 4x4 approach – luckily I had Tacoma by then (scratching the hell out of a new car – but that’s why I bought the thing in a first place).
My objective – be at the Red Lake by the sunrise and capture all its glory… simple - just me, the mountain and the perfect light! But not until the approach is done – sandy and at times confusing, I’ve managed to be by the lake some 2 hours earlier planned. It was cold. I realized I need something to warm myself and it was then when I started a bonfire not to freeze (yell at me as much as you want - I used already established site and killed it by plentiful of water)
The sunrise was – unimaginable and photos won’t do its justice to tell you the wow I had that morning, possibly the best of 2018 (although Lone Pine was quite incredible too). I remember I took so many photos – a good sign (long debates upon post-processing – inevitable consequences). Satisfied by the photos I quickly packed-up and headed towards the saddle between mt. Prater and Split. I did follow the Red Mountain Creek from ~11400. It was sandy.
I remember reaching the saddle and looking at the last push towards the summit – daunting (early start and sunrise rush is always exhausting) Summit was remarkable with some jugged views towards the south.
I spent just a shy less of an hour on its top and headed back promptly. Afternoon sun was gorgeous on the Red Lake – turquoise/green-ish, with fall colors on the grass – Sierra’s best combo.
The rest of the trip was not remarkable - I reached the car just before the sunset.
