Roman Emperor Diocletian, having abdicated his throne
in AD 305, decided to spend the last years of his life in Dalmatia
and built a palace for that purpose on the bay of Aspalathos, on
the south side of a peninsula extending into the Adriatic Sea. The
spot he chose is now the very heart of the city of Split, and the
palace still stands as the city's main tourist attraction. The
building and the entire historic Split inner city area around it
have been declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Within
the palace walls are a network of narrow cobblestone alleyways that
house a mixture of residential apartments; modern shops, cafes and
restaurants; ancient Roman relics and a magnificent cathedral. The
palace is interesting in that it was designed to combine a
luxurious palace with the defences of a military camp, having
towers and fortifications on its landward sides with three
monumental gates. Originally situated on the water, the palace is
now fronted by the city's popular waterfront promenade and faces
onto the harbour. The buildings are made from local white
limestone, quarried on the nearby island of Brac. see full details

About 30 miles (47km) south of Split is the popular
holiday town of Makarska, with its stone cobbled streets and
natural harbour fringed with the two green peninsulas of Osejava
and St Peter. Standing sentinel over the town is Mount Biokovo.
This scenically beautiful spot offers secluded beaches washed by an
azure sea, lying at the heart of the Makarska Riviera characterised
