For those who wonder why the city got built in such an environment, you have to go back to the 6th century, at the fall of the Roman Empire. The inhabitants of Salona, the nearby city, found a shelter in the abandoned palace of Dioclétien to protect from invading barbarians. They thus constructed their houses inside the ruins, from which the famous seaside resort was born.
Indeed, Split is the perfect destination for all History lovers. The diversity of the cultural sites is actually one of the major tourist attraction of the city. Visit the ruins of the Palace, admire the traditional City Clock or have a walk in the well-known Temple of Jupiter, your stay will be all the more cultural! With visits adapted to children of all ages, why not enjoy with your
whole family?
At last, in addition to its obvious historical value, the city of Split has more to offer. Natural parcs offering private trips or the plentiful
beaches are part of the
activities not to be missed during your stay. Among the most famous, the Marjan Park, which provides breathtaking point of view on the sea, or the Bene Beach and its clear water will convince all nature lovers. For the athletes, you will get the possibility to visit the surrounding nature with a quad or a ATV. Thrills guaranteed! The bravest could even enjoy the pleasures of a special hike in the top of the mountains, but this requires a certain experience in alpinism.
In sum, whether you want to visit the city for its impressive
cultural heritage or for its landscapes, Split is one of these culturally rich destinations with a wide tourist offer to satisfy all needs.
