The Roman Emperor Diocletian spent his declining years in an enormous palace
that he had built near his birthplace, Aspalthos, in Dalmatia.
With the passing
centuries the original architecture of the palace has been altered, but the
people of the city, later called Spalato, and then Split, were able to use the
structure of the palace, damaging it as little as possible, under Byzantine,
Venetian and Austro-Hungarian rule.
Thus, a harmonious city came into being
within the Roman walls. The peristyle of the palace, Diocletian's mausoleum,
Jupiter's temple, the colonnades along the streets, Early Croatian churches,
Romanesque houses, the gates of Andrija Buvina and architectural works by Juraj
Dalmatinac have remained in a good state.
