Split and Trogir riviera - INFO

Split, an ancient Roman city, developed from Diocletian's Palace which was built by the Roman emperor Diocletian more than 1700 years ago. The emperor had this massive palace built to spend the remaining years of his life after abdication. Diocletian's Palace and many other monuments from the Roman times are still preserved. The cathedral is situated within the palace. It was built upon Emperor Diocletian's mausoleum in 7th century, and it received its name after the patron saint of Split, St. Dujam. In the preserved parts of the palace and in the palace basements, various manifestations take place, such as Diocletian's evenings and the evenings of local music. Especially impressive have been the performance of Verdi's opera Aida on the Peristyle during the Split Summer Festival. Today Diocletian's palace is unique in the world because it is still inhabited. Life has been going on in the palace for some 1700 years.
Trogir, a small town near Split, is known for its old town centre and the Romanic portal in the entrance to the St. John's cathedral. It is also famous for its vivid summer nights. The island of Čiovo settled near Trogir with its idyllic small villages, beaches and hidden bays.
Omiš, a small town situated on the very delta of the river Cetina, offers its visitors many opportunities for an active holiday on the river, the sea or in the mountains.
