Overview
If you’re tired of tours full of numbers, names you can’t pronounce, and facts you forget by the next morning—this one’s for you.
This walk is about stories.
The kind you remember.
I’ll tell you about the man who built this city—Diocletian. Not as a statue, but as a person. One of the most powerful emperors in Roman history, and one of the most complicated.
You’ll hear about the people who lived inside these walls long after the empire fell—fishermen, traders, widows, workers, families. People like mine. People like yours.
This isn’t a history class. It’s a walk through time with someone who lives here.
No scripts. No umbrellas in the air. Just a conversation about a place I know well.
It’s a slower, more personal way to learn about Split—with space for questions, stories you’ll actually remember, and honest local tips on what to see, eat, and skip while you’re here

Meeting point
Diocletian's palace has 4 gates, one of them is placed on the Riva waterfront. The entrance to the palace is from the seaside. The gates are always open and are placed on the Southern wall of the palace. This is the line (non-visible) between parking area on Riva and pedestrian zone.
Return details
Our tour can end wherever you like. Let me know at the beginning of the tour what would you prefer and we can adjust the ending of the tour.
-
Riva HarborWe'll start our tour on the Riva waterfront. Riva is where we spend our winter, drinking coffee & enjoying the sun. Every generation in Split has a favourite corner on the Riva promenade, and every corner hides a story. Join me for a tour of the Split old town. Let's have a great time exploring the centuries-old tradition of tasteful food. I will share the forgotten stories and show you the unusual but functional architecture in the old town and the Palace area.
-
Temple of JupiterLeaving the waterfront, we will enter the Substructures of the Palace and walk towards the Temple of Jupiter. The location was chosen to signify the divine connection between the emperor Diocletian and Jupiter. The Ancient Roman God of the sky and thunder & king of the Gods. During the Middle Ages, the Temple was converted into a baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist
-
Let Me Pass (Pusti me da prodjem) StreetOn our way to see the temple of Jupiter, we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building - now a hotel. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in town. The local name is "The let me pass street".
-
The Peristyle of Diocletian's PalaceLeaving small narrow streets we are now at Peristil, the open space of the imperial square. I will share intriguing stories that happened behind the city walls, stories about traditional and modern Split and our slow way of life (pomalo = take it easy, way of life).
-
Cathedral of Saint DomniusStanding on the only square within the palace - Peristil, you can not miss seeing the beautiful and tall bell tower. Almost hidden behind it, protected, is the Cathedral of Split. One of the smallest and oldest cathedrals in the world.
-
Nadalina cokoladaThe day is better if we add a bit of chocolate to it. Walking towards the end of our tour, we will stop at one of my favourite chocolate places- Nadalina. I will share some stories about food production, while we have samples of locally flavoured chocolate.
-
The Golden GateThe Golden Gate (Latin: Porta Aurea) is one of the four main Roman gates into the Diocletian's Palace. The gate is on the road to the north, towards Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and Diocletian's birthplace. You will hear about the antique military strategy in the Palace and discover some hidden buildings nearby.
-
Grgur Ninski StatueThe northern wall of the Place, in front of the sculpture of Grgur Ninski, is where we will end our tour. Here, we are surrounded by the 4th-century antique wall, 20th-century art and modern life today. We will respect the local tradition here and make a wish. Thank you for walking with me and allowing me to share my love for my town with you.
