Diocletian’s Palace, Split
Diocletian’s Palace is one of the best preserved monuments of Roman architecture in the world. The name may be confusing because when you actually come to Split, you won’t have a feeling that you’re inside of a palace, but rather in fortified part of Old Town. Interesting fact is that there was nothing around the palace during the rule of Emperor Diocletian. At that time, Split didn’t even exist – just the palace and residents inside it. The main parts of the palace are Peristyle Square (also the main city square) and the Substructures (popularly called “the basements”). And did you know that the oldest cathedral in the world is in Diocletian’s Palace? The Cathedral of St Domnius was built between 295-305 AD and it is as well the mausoleum of the Emperor Diocletian.
Emperor Diocletian was a great lover of Egypt, which is apparent as he acquired the Peristil columns and more than a dozen granite sphinxes (from 1500 BC) from Luxor. Three sphinxes remain today; one is still located on Peristil, the second sits headless in front of the Jupiter's temple, and the third is in the city museum.
