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.
A pass between outcrops of the Granite Mountains. The Oregon Trail and later the Mormon route to Utah went through it. Its heyday ended when the transcontinental railroad was finished (which ran farther south).

Es la principal ciudad de la región de Dalmacia, la capital del condado de Split-Dalmacia y la segunda ciudad más populosa del país tras Zagreb, de la que dista 380 km. Es un importante puerto pesquero y base naval del Adriático, así como un centro cultural y turístico importante; la ciudad antigua es una joya arquitectónica, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1979. En su entorno existen astilleros, fábricas de cemento y de plástico, industrias madereras, vinicultoras e industrias de procesamiento de alimentos.
Con vistas al mar Adriático y respaldada por las montañas que rodean la ciudad de Split en Dalmacia es como un museo viviente. En ella aun siguen en pie las antiguas construcciones romanas que dan un aspecto interesante. Ahora, las tiendas de lujo y cafeterías se encuentran entre estos hermosos edificios.
Split fue fundada cuando Diocleciano construyó su casa de retiro en la zona. Nacido cerca de Salona, este poderoso soldado llegó a gobernar el Imperio Romano durante dos décadas. Cuando el palacio fue construido en su totalidad renunció y se retiró a su natal Dalmacia, donde pasó sus últimos años. Siglos más tarde fue dominada por Venecia (1420-1797).
