Do you know what is so eloquent about Split? The possibility to stroll through the Diocletian palace for free, to drink coffee inside the palace, to enjoy the sunshine, listen to the tender sounds of klape singing, to walk through this place where ancient people used to live or to go into the cellars of the Diocletian palace and cool off from the sun during hot summer months.
The city harbor still has an attractive ambience of a coastal town.
Matejuška is the last picturesque part of the old Split harbor, and Tomića Stine is a symbol of folk architecture. Narodni trg (The people’s square) - Pjaca is the soul of the city. When in the square, you can visit a gothic council, clock tower and the gates to the Diocletian palace all in one glance. One other square – The Fruit Square (Voćni trg) has a late renaissance palace Milesi and Meštrović’s monument of Marko Marulić. Once inside the palace you will take your most valuable things with you, this picturesque ambience of narrow streets with Romanesque, gothic and renaissance houses, passages, gate arches and windows are fascinating. For your own knowledge, this area also includes the suburbs of Lučac, Veli Varoš, Manuš and Dobri which have a specific atmosphere and as well as a characteristic way of living.
