Riva Harbor
We start our tour at the Riva promenade - the most important public space in the Split. Riva represents something far more then just a nice waterfront. It is a genuine living room for us locals. It is a stage for numeros concerts and events throughout the entire year.The waterfront is a central place to celebrate New Year, Christmas, City Day, Carnival and many other events. The Promenade is 250m long and 55m wide and it offers numerous coffee shops and restaurants where you can relax and enjoy the sea view. We are start the tour at the very beginning of Riva near a bronze model of the city of Split.
Palazzo di Diocleziano
Our next stop is the Diocletian Palace. The Palace is one of the best preserved monuments of the Roman architecture in the world. The Emperor's Palace was built as a combination of a luxury villa - summer house and a Roman military camp (castrum), divided into four parts with two main streets. Southern part of the Palace was, in this scheme, intended for the Emperor's apartment and appropriate governmental and religious ceremonies, while the north part was for the Imperial guard - the military, servants, storage etc. The Palace is a rectangular building (approximately 215 x 180 meters) with four large towers at the corners, doors on each of the four sides and four small towers on the walls.
Vestibulum of Diocletian's Palace
From the outside rectangular, and from the inside circular ground plan of this old imperial court, Vestibule leaves a monumental impression even to this day. And how fascinating was it in its original entirety: semicircular niches with statues; a large cupola with colourful glittery mosaic, witnessed by Marko Marulić in his manuscript from the 16th century; the whiteness of the round wall. Vestibule was used to enter the residential part of the palace. But can you imagine that little over half a century ago it was used for living, and that the residents kept poultry there and cultivated gardens? Vestibul is today appreciated for its outstanding acoustics. You will be amazed by the sounds of man groups who sing traditional dalmatian a capella songs.
