Split is a Mediterranean city on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, centred around the ancient Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian and its bay and port. With a population of 178,192 citizens, and a metropolitan area numbering up to 467,899, Split is by far the largest Dalmatian city and the second-largest city of Croatia. Spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings, Split's greater area includes the surrounding seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub, the city is a link to numerous Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula, as well as a popular tourist destination.
Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area. While it is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old counting from the construction of Diocletian's Palace in AD 305, archaeological research relating to the original founding of the city as the Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) in the 6th century BC, establishes the urban tradition of the area as being several centuries older.

On the evening of July 31, 1910, Split Rock light flashed more than 20 miles across Lake Superior for the very first time. For nearly 60 years, the light guided ships that carried ore from Minnesota's iron ranges to steel mills on the lower Great Lakes. In 1924 the North Shore highway was completed and passed within a half mile of the light. Split Rock soon became one of the most visited lighthouses in the nation.
Diocletian's Palace, Split (Italian: Spalato, Latin: Spalatum), Croatia
The palace was built for Diocletian in the early 4th century. The emperor spent the rest of his life here after his abdication. The complex combines the qualities of a luxury residence with a military camp.
The palace was integrated into the urban texture of the medieval Split. It was "discovered" in the 18th century. Robert Adam, the neoclassical architect studied the palace intensively.
The site is included in the World Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO.

TV: Heroes
Starring: Hayden Panettiere
Song: Split Personality
Artist: P!nk
Notes:
Another image I made for my friend Taylor Tucker , requested of Claire Bennet & Hayden Panettiere. For those who may or may not know they are the same person, just one is a character, hopefully you can tell the difference. Anyways, song I chose out was Split Personality by P!nk. I saw the song used in a Tracy Strauss video (another character from the TV show HEROES) which better went with her, but I think this goes well to. I chose a serious picture of Claire Bennet b/c she is serious half the damn time on the show lol, but in real life from what I see , Hayden is just as out going gal and joyfull as I :) So I hope you like the picture Taylor! :)
