The Dalmatian port built inside a Roman emperor's palace. Diocletian's retirement palace never became a ruin because Split never stopped living in it, turning a mausoleum into a cathedral and a throne room into a market. Beyond the marble, climb the fishermen's quarter and the green hill of Marjan, and meet the everyday city at its market and its beach. Best walked slowly by the sea.
