Split City Museum
Split City Museum exhibition - "Split and the World War I." . Exhibits are a part of the Split City Museum collection and the exhibition will be available until October 15, 2015 at the Gallery of the Museum (Dioklecijanova b.b.).
The exhibition was organized within the framework of the national program of marking the centenary of the First World War with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Split city.
Although Split and Dalmatia were not directly involved in the military operations, the war had a strong reflection on the life of the population and impacted the overall political, social, economical and cultural development, not only during the war itself, but through severe consequences, felt even for years after the war.During the research and procession of the materials, it has been found, that in many family legacies, particularly in family albums of this area, memories of the events of the First World War were perserved. Various museum objects are a part of the exhibition - providing information about people, events and phenomena of the period before, during and after the World War I. in Split. In addition to photos and documentary, there are weapons, equipment, parts of uniforms, flags, decorations, medals and badges. Pictures, graphics and sculptures introduce us to the protagonists of the art scene of that time. The numismatic collection holds pieces of paper and coins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which in 1892 introduced the Crown as a currency unit that was in use until the final collapse of the country at the end of the war.
This museum in the heart of the palace is mostly worth visiting for the 15th-century Gothic building itself rather than for the sundry paintings and weaponry within. You'll also find photographs, documents, maps and old papers but the permanent collection appeals more to historians than offer someone from the general public a rough idea how this fascinating port developed.

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 split shot of a whale shark filter feeding near the surface, whale shark or "Butanding" as the they're known in the Philippines Islands are the largest known fish species, and they can live between 70 to 100+ yrs. Till now the issue of feeding them for eco-tourism is controversial but seems to be the best option. SHot in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines.
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 then 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.
Since 1979 the historic center of Split is included into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Over centuries Split was under either Venetian or Ottoman influence. The Congress of Vienna allocated the city to the Empire of Austria. During the 19th century a lot of investments were done and elegant buildings were erected inside the old town.
