What you'll see
The palace's central courtyard: a sunken square ringed by granite columns and arches, with the cathedral's bell tower above and an Egyptian sphinx at one side. People sit on the steps with a coffee.
A brief history
This was the ceremonial heart of the palace, where the emperor appeared to his subjects. The sphinx is one of several Diocletian brought back from Egypt.
