Diocletian’s Palace and Mausoleum: These Roman-era ruins are one of the most popular attractions in the city. According to its history, the ruins of the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s palace date back to the late 3rd to early 4th century A.D., where he lived for the last 10 years of his life. Unfortunately, after he died, the city was abandoned. The city was first called Spalatto by the Italians and then later changed by Slavic Croatians to Split. Today, filling the old buildings of the ancient fortress, which is a Unesco World Heritage site, are shops, cafes, restaurants and apartments.
