The tour is done within and around Diocletian's Palace, which is actually the core and oldest part of the city of Split. It is a 1700-year-old palace of the retired Roman emperor Diocletian which, through interesting events, became the city of Split we have today. For 17 centuries people had been living on that same spot, building layers upon layers of still visible and persisting history integrated into the daily lives of its today's residents.

After the introduction outside the southern wall of the Palace, the tour starts by entering through the Bronze Gate into the Basement Halls. It is a huge, incredibly well-preserved complex of chambers underneath Diocletian's private quarters. We are passing only through one chamber, as the rest of the Basement is a museum.

After moving through the Basement Halls, we arrive at the main square of Diocletian's Palace - the beautifully preserved ancient Roman square. After explaining all of the interesting facts about it, the tour continues around the square to show all the interesting and iconic Roman structures.

We enter the Vestibule, a phenomenally preserved entrance of the private quarters of Emperor Diocletian.

After the Vestibule, the tour will stop at the nearby Temple of Jupiter to explain all the interesting facts about it. We will not enter inside the Temple as it is a Musem.

After we visit all the sites surrounding the square, we proceed towards the eastern Silver Gate of the Palace where we see the 1700-year-old Roman street and the Mausoleum that leans onto it.

The best view of emperor Diocletian's Mausoleum is from Decumanus Street. Today that is the Cathedral of St. Dominus with the beautiful belltower added to it as a landmark of Split. We stop by as the guide explains its importance, but we are not entering inside as it s a paid site.

We move north towards the main gate of the Palace, but on the way, we are passing through the old residential area of the Palace where we can see the medieval housing and the phenomenally preserved Papalić Palace - the best example of Venetian architecture in Split. There the guide explains the connection between Venice and Split.

After Papalić Palace, we go arrive outside of the Palace where we see the Golden Gate, the main entrance, and the entire northern wall. Here the guide also gives context to the historical expansion of the city of Split outside of the Palace shell.

The tour ends on Piazza Square (the People's Square) which is today's main square of the city of Split. From here, everything is at arms reach, because all streets eventually connect to here. The guide, alongside the conclusion, will give you further information on what to further explore in Split and around it.
