Split's early history, revolves around a Greek settlement founded between the 3rd and 4th century BC. Its most famous historical development, however, came in 295 AD when Roman emperor Diocletian ordered a residence to be built for his retirement, as it was close to the large Roman settlement, Salona.
It took ten years to build this magnificent palace and Diocletian lived there until he died in 313 AD. After his death, many Roman rulers continued to use it as a retreat although by the later part of the 6th century it had fallen into disrepair.
Today, the palace is bustling with shops, restaurants, and three thousand local inhabitants who live and work inside this wondrous city-scape. Split, Croatia
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
"All you need is love" is a lie 'cause
We had a love but we still said goodbye
Now we’re tired, battered fighters
And it stings when it nobody’s fault cause there's
Nothing to blame At the drop of your name
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left
So maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right
Sister's birthday Tomorrow
should be fun :)
The house I grew up in, taken soon after it was built in 1965. A typical mid-century split level home, just about every surburban housing development in offered one.
It's been bittersweet since we arrived in Nelson due to the weather but this is one of the highlight of our trip.This is a (short) long exposure shot of Split Apple Rock, which is located just south of the Abel Tasman National Park, between Kaiteretere and Marahau. After a 10 minutes walk down through some bush you come out to a long stretch of deserted golden sand, with the unmistakable Split Apple Rock sitting just off shore.
We arrived just after sunrise (which meant it was dark when had to walk down through the bush!). So many treasures, but best of all: treasured memories, made with your friends whole love and share the same interest!!!!
Split Mountain was long thought to be an anticline -- rock folded upwards to form a ridge. But we were there at the same time as a geology field trip; & doing a little eavesdropping, we learned the correct technical term for the baroque peak of the fold (seen here): "The Crazycline."
All that goes out the window if, as more recently suggested, it is not an anticline, formed by slow uplift, but a drag fold formed when a submarine landslide plowed into layers of sediments in the Gulf of California.
When I walked over to stand in front of the wall & do my best to look like a human being for scale, I also discovered my one & only specimen of Orcutt's aster, growing straight out of the rock.
This plant has been there since at least 1989 (see photo from Tom Feldman below). And it was still there in 2019: www.flickr.com/photos/aking1/49305998248/.

Le palais de Dioclétien est l'attraction la plus célèbre de Split et un site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Même si l'histoire n'est pas votre tasse de thé (ce n'est sûrement pas mon cas), vous serez époustouflé par cet endroit !
Cet impressionnant vestige de l'architecture romaine remonte au IVe siècle. Si certaines parties des anciens murs subsistent encore aujourd'hui, le palais n'a pas de frontières claires et ses vestiges occupent une grande partie de la vieille ville de Split, avec des bâtiments plus récents, des bars et des boutiques disséminés entre eux et autour d'eux.
Le palais de Dioclétien n'est donc pas un palais au sens habituel du terme, mais plutôt une ville fortifiée qui a été habitée et transformée en ce qui est aujourd'hui le centre-ville de Split. Il n'y a pas d'entrée, ce qui signifie qu'il n'y a pas de droits d'entrée ni d'heures d'ouverture. Le palais fait partie de la ville et la ville fait partie du palais.
À la base, le palais de Dioclétien était un complexe résidentiel et militaire. Vous pourrez y découvrir les vestiges de plus de 200 bâtiments romains encore debout aujourd'hui. Le péristyle (cour centrale), le vestibule (antichambre circulaire) et les caves (Podrumi) comptent parmi les curiosités les plus époustouflantes du palais de Dioclétien. Nous allons nous pencher un peu plus sur chacun d'entre eux !
/The Diocletian’s Palace is the most famous attraction in Split and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even if history isn’t really your cup of tea (it surely isn’t mine), you’ll be blown away by this place!
This impressive Roman architectural remain dates back to the 4th century. While parts of the old walls still stand today, the palace has no clear borders and its remains take up much of Split’s old city, with newer buildings, bars and shops scattered in between and around it.
So the Diocletian’s Palace isn’t a palace in the usual sense of the word, but more like a fortified town that’s been lived into and morphed into what is the city center of Split today. There is no entrance, meaning there aren’t any entrance fees nor are there any opening hours. The palace is part of the city and the city is part of the palace.
At it’s core, the Diocletian’s Palace used to be a residential and military complex. Here you’ll be able to explore the remains of over 200 Roman buildings that are still standing today. Among the more breathtaking sights in the Diocletian Palace are the Peristyle (central courtyard), the Vestibule (a circular anteroom) and the Podrumi (the cellars). Let’s dig a little bit deeper into each of these!
