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.
Next to the Cathedral of Saint Domnius ("Katedrala Svetog Duje"), in the center of ancient Diocletian's Palace, is this large rotunda, the center part of the dome got lost over the centuries, so the tourists can see the top of the Catherdal´s campanile from inside the building.

well, my time went so quickly
i went lickety-splitly out to my ol' 55
as i pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy
god knows i was feelin' alive
now the sun's comin' up, I'm ridin' with lady luck
freeway cars and trucks
stars beginnin' to fade, and i lead the parade
just a-wishin' i'd stayed a little longer
oh lord, let me tell you that the feelin's gettin' stronger...
--tom waits, "ol' 55"

p.s. btw, when i found that video just now and watched it, my chin dropped at the scene where the tail lights are all blurred out. why? cos.
I say good bye for three weeks, splitting from the flickr pools ;-). I'll be in finland with my kajak paddeling through the Aland archipelago.
First time for me to use my digital cam on a longer trip without power supply, so I have to carry some batteries for the battery grip I bought, hope I'll have enough energy to capture many beautifullmoments, but my first goal is to enjoy nature.

My wife Karalee and I spent two years living on a sailboat in the Mediterranean home schooling our three children Jocelyn, Kevin, and Allen. This photo was part of that adventure. You can learn more about it at www.davidgreer.ca/cruise/.
