What you'll see
A maze of white stone lanes, Roman walls, gates and courtyards, with homes, shops and cafés squeezed into an emperor's retirement palace. Underneath, the vaulted cellars show the shape of the rooms that once stood above.
A brief history
The Roman emperor Diocletian built it around 300 AD to retire to. When nearby Salona was abandoned in the 600s, its people moved inside the walls, and the palace slowly became a town.
