Correcting Reconstruction of Diocletian's Palace

There are several things wrong with the reconstruction seen in the post (featured) image. First, the location. Palace could not have been that close to the sea – under such conditions, sea will have broken against the foundations of the seaside wall, causing the entire southern wall of the palace, and both towers, to eventually collapse. Romans will have known this, though they will not have…

Split, an architectural treasure trove and hodgepodge

Split, an architectural treasure trove and hodgepodge

The Roman Emperor Diocletian was born in Split, now in EU member state Croatia. One of few Roman emperors to survive his time as head of state, he retired to this coastal town in 305 CE, occupying the palace whose structure remains with us in significant part. Too bad it is obscured by layers of later additions or otherwise unattractively modified. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, occupying a…

The Good and the Bad: Apartment Mamma Leone, Stobrec, Croatia

The Good and the Bad: Apartment Mamma Leone, Stobrec, Croatia

Small but perfectly formed Where: 30 Ivankova ulica, Stobrec, 21311 Split, Croatia A standard view of the local beach – Plaza Stobrec Jug The Good: This was a holiday stay of seven nights for a family of four and, due to Covid, the first break in another country for two years. So the priority was a location close to the sea. Apartment Mamma Leone certainly delivered on that front. The nearest…

A Peek at Split, Croatia

This past summer we had an amazing adventure of epic proportions which included a stay in Split, Croatia.   We had flown into Zagreb and traveled to Split to spend a few days prior to the wedding of our son Micah and new daughter in law Wendy.  I must admit we were pretty excited about what was to follow on August 20th but we had decided early on that we wanted to be over the jet lag and in good…

Split Personality

Today, we met with Stella, our guide through old town Split. I thought our tour might not happen though, because on our way there, the wind whipped up and it began to pour. Fortunately, it quickly stopped, and we found Stella waiting for us outside the southern gates of Diocletian’s Palace. Built 4th century AD as a retirement palace for the emperor Diocletian, modern day homes and shops have…

Return to Croatia, or the second time. Part 3-the Splendor of the Split

Return to Croatia, or the second time. Part 3-the Splendor of the Split

To split from Trogir is about 35 km, and therefore close. It is the second largest city in Croatia and the capital of Dalmatia. Although we were here last year, as Kamil wrote in the post: into the Sun, or to Croatia by Bratislava and Budapest. 3, we decided to take our Brigade Split, because travel here is called. a "must see" in Croatia. This time we were able to park right on the promenade.…

TRAVEL: Split, Croatia

After Brac, we headed to Split, which is one of the major cities in Croatia and often the most infamous due to its great transport links to the surrounding islands. Our stay in Split was just for one night, as there was only one place I really wanted to see.

For our night in Split we stayed at the rather quirky Azur Palace Hotel which is located just outside the Old Town. The room provided was…

Diocletian's palace

DIOCLETIAN’S PALACE is an ancient palace built by the Roman Emperor DIOCLETIAN at the turn of the 4th century on the bay of ASPALATHOS, and it today forms the centre of the city of SPLIT.

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 s massive and more resembles a “large fortress”…
