Diocletian Palace Substructures
Diocletian’s Cellars are among the best-preserved Roman underground structures in the world. They once supported the emperor’s private quarters above and were used for storage and daily palace operations. Today, they reveal the architectural brilliance of the Romans and offer a glimpse into life within the ancient palace.
The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace
The Peristyle is the central square of Diocletian’s Palace and served as the ceremonial heart of the imperial residence. Surrounded by grand colonnades, it was where the emperor appeared as a living god to be worshipped by citizens. Today, it remains a stunning example of Roman architecture and a vibrant gathering place in the historic core of Split.
Vestibulum of Diocletian's Palace
The Vestibule was the grand entrance to the emperor’s private quarters within Diocletian’s Palace. Its circular shape and soaring dome created a dramatic transition from the public Peristyle to the private imperial residence. Even today, its acoustics and monumental form impress visitors and echo the power of Roman architecture.
