Diocletian’s Palace forms an important part of Split’s old city center. It’s not just a building that is a palace. It’s rather a town within a town. The palace consists of Diocletian’s living quarters, temples to worship the gods, a cathedral, cellars, the peristyle and many narrow alleyways. Everything is surrounded by the old city walls containing 4 gates.

Back in the 4th century, it must have been a magnificent piece of architecture. Even now with a lot of it destroyed through history, it still impressed me. Diocletian built this palace for his retirement. Can you imagine living in a place like this when you’re retired? You’ll have to become a Roman emperor first or do something else to become very rich!

I made a lot of photos, but it’s impossible to share them all in my articles. That’s why I decided to create these photo galleries. This way I can inspire you to travel these places as well! Enjoy this gallery of Diocletian’s Palace in Split!
