Visit the Top 10 places in Split with Coach Charter Germany - your coach charter company

Split is a town on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, famous for its beaches and the center fortified complex of Diocletian Palace, founded in the 4th century by the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The ruin, once made up of thousands of houses, still contains over 200 buildings. There is the cathedral and many stores, restaurants, cafés, hotels and houses within its white stone walls and under the courtyards. Split feels like a town forgotten at the time on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. After 1700 years, the old center with a huge Roman palace in the city is dominant and nothing you have seen before. This style has been kept intact and incorporated into new buildings over the years, such as the St. Duje Cathedral, the heart of which is the 4th century mausoleum.

1. St. Duje’s Cathedral

The reorganization of old buildings is one of the enchanting aspects of architecture in old Split. Split 's cathedral is the finest example, once Diocletian's mausoleum. The main portion of the building dates back to the year 350, making St Duje the largest cathedral in the world. It is a true thrill to see the mixture of Roman elements, such as the original 24-column ring and the elements of a Catholic worship. Take just a moment to see the elegant wooden cathedral doors, which have remained unchanged since 1200. 

2. Diocletian’s Palace

Diocletian’s Palace overlooks the historical center of the city. Nothing else like it is in Europe: it is a magnificently preserved complex from the fourth century, combining the stately retirement villa of Diocletian with the remains of a massive military base. This is the degree to which it is more a citadel than a palace and every corner is waiting for surprises. Needless to say the palace is listed on the UNESCO list, and you can even go along its original Roman roads: decumanus and cardo still have their original paving stones. It is not shocking that Game of Thrones scenes have been filmed in this incredible location.

3. Peristil Square

The original Roman court is Peristil Square, where you can enjoy the architectural beauty of ancient Split. Afternoon coffee cups won't get dramatic, that's sure! Diocletian stood in public in this square alone and his devoted subjects were prostrate to the former emperor. The two 3500-year-old Egyptian Sphinxes brought by Diocletian to the city are still standing. The epic stone monuments across the square have given Peristil a fine acoustics to capture an opera or theatrical performance in summer.. 

4. Historic Split

You will have to explore the old town for at least a few hours, and you can't do it better than walking. Visit Pjaca Square and see Split's old town hall overlooking a new square with polished marble tiles and outdoor cafés. Fruit Square is also significant, its name taken from the market held here for centuries. There is plenty of lovely Renaissance architecture, remnants of the Split Venetian period. To see the way people go in Split, try Marmont Street, which extends to the sea, flanking with shops, cafés and restaurants. 

5. Marjan

This steep, 170 m high hill is situated just to the west of the city, with its cypress trees and Mediterranean pines. It's just the ticket if you're up to a taste of fresh air and exercise or want to map out some of Split's less visited attractions. The Jewish cemetery on the east side of the hill is particularly important. Since 1945 there have been no burials, but several tombs remain visible and some date back to the 1700s. On the top are two churches, Saint Nicholas from the 1200s and Saint Jerome from the 1400s, with a Venetian styled Renaissance altarpiece Andrea Alessi.

6. Campanile

Next to the cathedral is a stunning view of the iconic Split bell tower, six floors high as you go up to the highest levels. You will be exposed to elements and see the arched windows of the tower that are a classic feature of romance that have been unchanged since the thousands. Up at the top is the view of Split and the Adriatic cityscape, worth the expensive climb and the tiny entrance fee!  

7. Klis Fortress

You'll learn why this hamlet in Game of Thrones was also located on a mountain pass. Klis Fortress sits on the bluff above the terraced hills of the eponymous city and is surrounded by more solid cliffs of pale gray granite. It is a sight that you won't forget, and for two and half centuries this device has spilled blood. The ancient Illyrians were the first to build a fortress here, and Klis has long since the medieval times been the seat of Croatian Kings. Those who held this castle 10 km north-east of Split in the Ottoman Wars had their upper hand in the region. 

8. Statue of Grgur Ninski

The subject and builder of this powerful statue are both far beyond the Golden Tor. Ivan Meztrovic was a professional master and continued his career in America after communism, where his public service is still so respected. More on him later. Grgur Ninski, a Croatian hero who defied the Pope with religious services in Croatian, helped to spread Christianity across the region and established Croatia's nation's identity, is the tenth century Bishop. Ninski's big toe was rubbed for good luck, and this bronze club was made with a touch of years.

9. Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments

If you wonder where the stuff from the historic monuments of Split ended, here is your answer. The Archeological Monument Museum collected about 20,000 artifacts, of which only a quarter can be displayed. Most of these are medieval and typically include jewellery, arms, armor and household pieces. In Croatian history, several stone inscriptions, reliefs and sculptures related to the Croatian kings, the aristocracy and the clergy, from the 1980's to the 1100's, were the key elements.

10. Salona

Salona was once the largest city in the Balkans, an easy bus ride from the middle of Split in the Roman Empire. 60 thousand people lived at Salona's highest point, and although in the 600s the archeological park was deserted and sacked, it was an amazing day and it conserves important parts of the buildings which once stood here. The most famous of these is the amphitheater with 18,000 visitors. You can trace the area and see how the terraced seats are associated with the slope of the hill on which they are built.
