Your guided experience starts at the bronze model of the historical core of Split, a detailed miniature of the old town and Diocletian’s Palace. I'll use this model to give you an overview of Split’s fascinating layout and history before stepping into the real thing.
We move on to the remarkably preserved substructures beneath Diocletian’s Palace, once used for storage and support, and more recently as a set for filming severl iconic scenes from the Game of Thrones series. These grand halls offer a glimpse into ancient engineering and everyday life, and are a perfect introduction to the palace’s imperial past.
From the substructures we emerge to the majestic Peristyle, the grand central courtyard of Diocletian’s Palace. Surrounded by towering columns and historic buildings, this open-air space was once the ceremonial heart of the palace and remains a vibrant gathering place today.
