Split, Where History Meets the Sea 🏛️🌊

#mediterranean

Split, the second-largest city in Croatia, is full of ancient charm and coastal beauty.
Its Old Town was built on the ruins of a Roman palace—yes, literally! 🏛️

Emperor Diocletian built a grand palace here over 1700 years ago as his retirement home. After his death, the structure gradually fell into ruin… until various groups began settling in, repurposing the foundations of the palace. Over centuries, new buildings were added on top, leading to the unique patchwork of architecture we see today.

Walking through the narrow alleys, you can still see the original palace walls and structures—it’s like stepping into a living, breathing piece of Roman history. A truly one-of-a-kind destination! 💫
