Temple of JupiterAnother fantastically preserved Roman structure is the Temple of Jupiter, their chief deity. It too has been repurposed by the church, and so still remains in good condition.

The south eastern corner of the palace has been mostly destroyed, but due to the way it had been constructed, an accurate partial reconstruction was made, where we'll get an impression of how Diocletian might have lived here.

The Papalić alleyway has a few interesting facts that we will learn as we're heading through the north half of the palace.

-
Grgur Ninski StatueLast stop of the tour is outside the northern gate of the palace, where we'll consolidate what we've learned of the roman construction.
