After Primosten, it was the turn of Split, a city known especially for the Diocletian's Palace, the Golden Gate and the Cathedral with its famous bell tower. Diocletian's Palace, is one of the best preserved Roman monuments in the world. Cotruito between 295 and 305, is divided into four parts by two main streets, the southern part of the building was planned for the emperor and his rooms, and residences for the northern part of the retinue of servants, the body of guard and the like. Diocletian's palace is a prime example of architectural trends in the Age of Diocletian marked by a conservative tendencies, as well as in the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, setting similar to those of Caracalla.
But Split is not only monuments but also life, entertainment and much more. The promenade is decorated with a series of tall palm trees intended to form a picture-frame and all around, many local restaurants to give people coming and going of day and night pass without stopping. Given the great heat I decided to stop in one of the premises for a drink in peace and enjoy the wonderful view that "Split" give me. The night, then, musicians and street performers enliven the evenings with music by Split and various attractions that offer an enchanting atmosphere.
The next day, with images of Split still imprinted in my mind, I decided to give me a bit 'of culture with a visit to the ruins of Salona (Croatian Solin). Salona was under the Roman Empire, the capital of Dalmatia and the birthplace of the Roman emperor Diocletian. After many photos of the archaeological site, I go for a bit 'of solace on the beaches of Primosten where, with great joy, a great tasting strawberry ice cream and lemon.
