Diocletian Palace's Peristyle |
Split is a city in Croatia that boasts the well-preserved Diocletian's Palace, a Roman palace built in 305 AD as a retirement home for Emperor Diocletian. The palace still holds many ancient features such as the Temple of Jupiter, the Palace's peristyle and ancient Egyptian sphinxes. The palace also serves as a blend of the old and new as locals have built homes and businesses within its walls. Split's seaside promenade along the Adriatic Sea makes it an ideal starting point for a vacation in Croatia. I flew to Split directly from London. I took two days to explore the city before moving on to Plitvice Lakes National Park.
