Split, Croatia - Elda and Dijana run the hostel. I'm not sure how Dijana does it. She was out drinking heavily with us every night. What a champ.
Formerly Diocletian's mauseleum, this is the oldest building being used as a church in the world, I believe.
Split, ville côtière dalmate de la Croatie, merveille rayonnante sur les bords azurés de la mer Adriatique. L'immense palais de l'empereur romain Dioclétien se retrouve dans cette ville, avec ses thermes, son temple dédié à Jupiter, ses souterrains et ses remparts.
Diocletian's Palace is an ancient palace built by the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms about half the old town of and city center of Split, in Croatia.
While it is referred to as a "palace" because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison.
Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305 AD.
After the Romans abandoned the site, the Palace remained empty for several centuries. In the 7th century, nearby residents fled to the walled palace in an effort to escape invading Croats. Since then the palace has been occupied, with residents making their homes and businesses within the palace basement and directly in its walls.[1] Today many restaurants and shops, and some homes, can still be found within the walls.

I thought I would get a bit more creative with this shot. Changed the contrast and desaturated it. Feeling a bit split down the middle today...(or should I say) early, early this morning. Ever notice how different your right side is from your left? In this shot it looks like I put two different people together. Weird...
