OVERVIEW

Explore landmarks from Roman times and other eras as a prelude to free time along the Riva, the bustling promenade that runs along the sea. Start your enchanting walking journey at the palace that Roman emperor Diocletian built in the early 4th century which is so spectacular and architecturally important that UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site. As you will discover, few places in Split present such a detailed look into the ancient world. The towering statue of Gregory of Nin reflects life in the 10th century as it venerates a bishop that defied the pope and defended Croatia’s culture and language. Rubbing the bishop’s left big toe is said to bring good fortune; that is why the bronze there is so shiny. Although People’s Square now boasts shops and restaurants, it was originally the first inhabited place in Split other than Diocletian’s Palace. A short walk will bring you to the Riva promenade, where you can explore independently.


HIGHLIGHTS
• Visit Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 4th century.

• Browse spacious People’s Square and the Riva seaside promenade on your own.
