Split walking tour with cellars A drink a walk and a talk with a local guide

We start off with a drink on the promenade of town, as it is usual for locals. Split has a very interesting and long story so I will introduce you to the town in that time. Then we start off by visiting the substructures of the Diocletian's palace, which is the only part of the palace where everything looks like almost 2000 years ago. Then we proceed to the surface and see the rest of the town. Everything depends on how much you can and want to see or hear!

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Palazzo di Diocleziano, Iza Vestibula 3, Split 21000 Croatia

Diocletian Palace is one of the best preserved monuments of the Roman architecture in the world. The Emperor's Palace was built as a combination of a luxury villa - summer house and a Roman military camp (castrum), divided into four parts with two main streets. Southern part of the Palace was, in this scheme, intended for the Emperor's apartment and appropriate governmental and religious ceremonies, while the north part was for the Imperial guard - the military, servants, storage etc. The Palace is a rectangular building (approximately 215 x 180 meters) with four large towers at the corners, doors on each of the four sides and four small towers on the walls. The lower part of the walls has no openings, while the upper floor is open with a monumental porch on the south and halls with grand arch windows on the other three sides. Over the centuries the Palace inhabitants, and later also the citizens of Split adapted parts of the palace for their own requirements, thus the inside buildings as well as the exterior walls with the towers significantly changed the original appearance, but the outlines of the Imperial Palace are still very visible.

Duration: 1 hour

Pass By: The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace, Dioklecijanova Ulica, Split 21000 Croatia

Peristyle, as the central square of the Palace, intended for the Emperor Diocletian celebrated as the living son of Jupiter, finds its place among many temples. The Emperor would appear under the architrave of the central part of Protyron, and his subjects would approach him, kneeling down, kissing the hem of his scarlet cloak, or they would fall in front of him, their entire body to the ground.

Stop At: Vestibulum of Diocletian's Palace, Ulica Iza Vestibula 1, Split 21000 Croatia

From the outside rectangular, and from the inside circular ground plan of this old imperial court, Vestibule leaves a monumental impression even to this day.
