Crammed up and stylish is the way to go in Split. After Emperor Diocletian was gone, people decided the Palace was there for them to take it. So, in time, they built houses inside the Palace's walls, often using original parts as a part of their new place. Spacious streets became narrow, mausoleum became cathedral, the giant Romanesque bell tower was being built, new palaces (family villas) grew inside the main Palace... With that, they made something unique even to this day. They gave life to the palace, and the palace protected them. Now, we're the ones protecting the palace, and the palace continues to live.

There's still a lot we don't know about Diocletian, but one thing is for sure - he was a real trendsetter. He was the main person responsible for the survival of Roman authority when Roman Empire was in shambles. He made a series of economic reforms aimed at undoing the chaos from the previous decades, and he did something no one ever imagined - he split the Empire, because it was simply too big for just one person to rule and have control over the whole Empire. With that, he introduced the world to the era of Tetrarchy - the rule of 4. After he gained back the power he decided to again do something no one before him did and something no one after him in the Empire will do, to abdicate the throne willing. Not by dying, not by being murdered, but to abdicate and retire to the most beautiful place in the world, the place you see on the photo - Split, Croatia.
Here, on this monumental part called Peristyle, he would greet his people who celebrated him as (in his words) the living son of Jupiter, and the people would kneel before him, even lay down completely on the ground kissing the hem of his purple toga (which later became the color of royalty).

The Golden Gate of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Croatia - the main entrance used by emperor Diocletian himself.

The outer part of the Palace's main entrance - The Golden Gate, is surrounded by beautiful nature with historic monuments such as the Benedictine monastery of St. Euphemia, the bell tower and the Chapel of the Holy Arnir, and the 8.5-meter tall bronze statue of 10th-century fighter for Slavic languages called Grgur Ninski (Gregory of Nin) that was done by the great sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. Today, Grgur Ninski is one of the must-see statues in Split because with the greatness of the monument itself, along with the history it preserves, it also brings good luck and makes wishes come true to those that rub his big "golden" toe. Don't miss out on that, visit Split!
