Dominating the heart of the Old Town of Split, Diocletian’s Palace is an ancient palace that was built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian in 305 AD. The beautifully preserved 4th-century citadel and UNESCO World Heritage Site rests at the center of the city and is bisected by Roman streets with original paving stones. Built as a combination of a luxury summer villa and a Roman military camp (castrum), the palace is divided into four sections with two main streets and contains residential buildings and military garrison quarters. While the interiors of the castle have been adapted throughout the centuries to accommodate the growing city around it, the outlines of the Imperial Palace are still visible.
