Self Guided Stroll through the Roman Splendor & Secrets of Split
Overview
In 305 AD, a Roman Emperor did something no emperor had ever done — he retired. He chose this exact spot on the Dalmatian coast, and the palace he built became the living, breathing heart of Split.
This self-guided audio tour takes you inside that story. Walk through the Bronze Gate where Diocletian may have arrived by sea, stand in the Peristyle where subjects prostrated themselves before him, and discover how his mausoleum became a cathedral dedicated to a saint he himself had executed in one of history's great ironies.
Along the way, you'll rub the lucky toe of a giant bronze bishop, find Europe's narrowest street , learn why Split's fish market has zero flies, and spot the clues that reveal where Roman Split ends and Venetian Split begins.
15 stops at your pace. Available in 9 languages. Works offline.
Over 20,000 travelers have explored with our audio walking tours, and a full refund guarantee means there's nothing to lose.
