The natural position and size of the port of Split enabled its rapid development and it became a port of special – international economic interest for the Republic of Croatia.
Also, thanks to its strategic position in the Mediterranean (between Venice and the Aegean port), the port of Split is one of the most important ports of call for cruises in the Adriatic, and its long history and numerous sights attract thousands of tourists.
Split is one of Croatia's bigger cities and has an interesting old town. We were able to see the majority of the sights in three quarters of a day's relaxed exploration and spent the remaining quarter drinking excellent Croatian coffee and beer.
Waterfall a short hike up the Split Rock river at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park (Minnesota). This was in August when the water was low. About half of the water is diverted over the long "shelf" seen here (the remainer flows just on the other side). This is a combination of 2 photos combined for a panaramic portrait.

In Split wird so einiges geboten, z.B direkt neben dem Stadttor, dem so genannten “goldenen Tor” steht die imposante Bronzefigur von Grgur Ninski. Wer über seinen goldenen Riesenzeh streichelt, den soll das Glück verfolgen......www.welt-sehenerleben.de

The history of Split is over-flowingly rich and turbulent to fit in just a couple of sentences. Although the Split area was earlier inhabited by the Greek colonies, Emperor Diocletian should be considered its first citizen and founder, starting his lavish villa of around 300 square meters near the great city of Salona in 293 AD, only to retire from the Roman throne within its walls after building it for ten years.
Turbulent centuries that followed turned the villa into a city, conceived by the fugitive inhabitants of Salona who fled from the Avars and Slavs. Many authorities changed hands in the city which, in the years to come, grew beyond the Palace walls, from the Croatian Kings in the 10th century, through the Hungarian and Venetian administration, to the French rulers and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Modern age and the 20th century "moved" Split from the kingdom of Yugoslavia, through tragic, yet heroic times of the Italian and German occupation during the Second World War when Split was one of the centres of anti-fascist resistance, to the Socialist Yugoslavia and the present period of the free and independent Croatia, member of the European Union.
Tumultuous history leaves its trace in the everyday life of the city that always moved steadily forward, remaining the centre of this part of the coast to this day. In those mixtures of history layers, clumsiness was inevitable, sometimes even rashness in development, but today it is all a part of its originality. Great city beats today with the silent whisper of history, the lively spirit of youth and charm of the Mediterranean yet in every way also Croatian warmth...
Townies in Split decided they'd just build their own shops and hotels right into the original palace structure. Apparently, their heating bills are pretty ridiculous, but probably not a bad trade for getting your walls for free.

split basin, which is 190 feet long, 20 feet wide and 16 inches deep. A waterfall, approximately 40 feet wide, "breaks" the basin where the arc wall crosses the pool and the upper basin seeps and cascades from the upland café terrace down to the floodplain six feet below. This waterfall, constructed of native limestone, references the natural history of St. Louis and its environs by representing the seeps and falls along the nearby Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The upper basin provides a calm, reflective pool for the Aristide Maillol sculpture, La Riviere, near the café.
