About Split

Split is located on the Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia. Nestled along the eastern shore of the peninsula that bears its name, this city stands as a blend of ancient and modern life. Historically significant, Split was founded by Roman Emperor Diocletian who retired to build his palace here, which now houses the nucleus of the city. Today, it's known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and thriving economy based on tourism and industry.

Split matters not just as a gateway to Dalmatia but also as a UNESCO World Heritage site with the Diocletian’s Palace at its core. The city's character is shaped by its blend of Roman architecture, bustling markets, and lively festivals that celebrate its heritage.
