Hello, adventurers! I'm your guide through history. I've been navigating the twists and turns of time for a solid 10 years now, and let me tell you, it's not just a job – it's my passion! Born and raised in the heart of Split, I've been deeply connected to this city for generations. Believe it or not, I've been strolling these cobblestone streets since I was knee-high! But the story doesn't stop there. I'm not just a local lad; I've taken my love for history and adventure to new heights. I've worked on legendary American cruisers like Celebrity and Disney, bringing a touch of Dalmatian charm to the high seas of the Atlantic. You know, passengers there often said I have that 'special spark' when I talk about Split's history – and I think they're right! So, my friends, let me take you on an incredible journey through time and space. Under my guidance, every nook of Diocletian's Palace will become your personal story. And I promise you, it'll be an adventure etched into your hearts as a cherished memory!

Tour description


Go back in time and walk with me in Diocletian's palace. Diocletian's Palace is one of the best preserved monuments of Roman architecture in the world. It is a combination of a luxury villa and a Roman military camp (castrum). This artistic ensemble is something not to be missed. We will take an exciting journey that begins on the bronze walkway map. Then we will access the substructures of the building where we will reveal many secrets. We will go to Diocletian's room where you can get in touch with the lifestyle of the Romans. Then, we will walk through the two main streets of Cardio and Decumanos which are the main streets of every Roman city. We will see the cathedral, the temple of Jupiter, four monumental gates, the statue of Gregorio de Knin, the Pjaca square and the fruit square. You will also see the Peristyle , the center of the palace used for religious reasons. I will also show you the green market and the fish market.
