Historic Split & Diocletian’s Palace

A Blend of Ancient and Modern Experience a unique blend of old and new cultures and architecture in Croatia’s second largest city. Travel by coach to the city of Split—the product of 17 centuries of building, renovating and remodeling, culminating in an eclectic blend of ancient and modern styles. At the core of Split’s sprawling cityscape is a spectacular Roman palace, built by Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the 4th century. The Old Town of Split is built on and around Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments. Discover it with your knowledgeable local guide as you stroll through its well-preserved cellars. Then, proceed to the Cathedral of St. Domnius, the patron saint of the city, and the charming Temple of Jupiter. You will have some free time to explore on your own before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
