Split is a city where history is not confined to a museum but lives and breathes within its ancient stone walls. As the 1,700-year-old capital of the Dalmatia region, it is a monument to the styles and influences of the past, carved into narrow streets, Roman temples, and Christian churches. From the monumental Palace of the Emperor Diocletian to the vibrant waterfront promenade known as RIVA, Split offers a seamless blend of ancient heritage and modern Mediterranean lifestyle.
