Wine and food fair take place in authentic ambient of the Cellars of Diocletian’s palace. Once upon a time they were probably used to store wines which gave the idea for the name of the fair. The cellars were built in order to raise the south, residential area, and align it with the other areas of the palace. The complex contains numerous halls under palace which are connected with corridors. It is the best preserved antique complex of this type. The cellars together with the Diocletian’s palace are under UNESCO protection since 1979. Today the halls are used for exhibitions, concerts and fairs.
