Top Split Culture

Diocletian's Palace isn't a single building but a maze of lanes, squares, and cellars built into Split's Old Town, so it's easy to walk straight through without knowing what you're looking at. Join a local guide who leads a small group from the palace cellars to the Peristyle and Golden Gate, showing where the Roman emperor's retirement palace ends and the medieval city begins.

Join us for a walk through history as we explore the center of Split, a 1700year-old city and ancient Roman city-palace protected by UNESCO. We will stroll not only through the old town, the Palace and its cellars but also through 2000 years of history filled with both educational and amusing, as well as bizarre situations. Meereen, the place where Daenerys spent three seasons, where scenes of the fight between slaves and masters (the "kill the masters" scene) were filmed, battles of Grey Worm and the Unsullied against the Sons of the Harpy, the death of Ser Barristan Selmy who saved Grey Worm, the dragons that Daenerys chained and later fed to the evil masters. Who was Emperor Diocletian, the greatest persecutor of Christians, and why did he vomit after dinner? How much did the Venetians pay for Split? Why does a headless Sphinx guard the entrance to Jupiter’s temple? We will show you what we eat and where to find the best food and local wine - Dalmatian specialties!
