Welcome to Split: A City of Rich History and Culture

Split historical city
Split, the second-largest city in Croatia, is located on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. Positioned on a peninsula surrounded by the Mosor and Kozjak mountains and the Žrnovnica and Jadro rivers, Split is a city with a rich cultural heritage that spans over two thousand years.
At its heart lies the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s palace, a monumental structure built in 293 AD. The palace remains at the centre of the modern city and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, serving as a living testament to the city's incredible history. After Diocletian's retirement, the people of Salona, the ancient Roman city near Split, sought refuge in the palace to protect themselves from invasions. This act marked the beginning of Split’s growth as a city. Throughout its long history, Split was ruled by various powers, including Croatian kings, Venetians, Austro-Hungarians, and even the French.
In the 20th century, Split was occupied by Italy and Germany during World War II, emerging as a centre of resistance against fascism. Following the war, it became part of Yugoslavia and, in time, an independent member of the European Union. Today, Split is a vibrant city known for its rich cultural landmarks, sporting achievements, and thriving tourism. The fusion of its historical significance with modern urban development makes it a major hub on the Croatian coast. Split offers a unique blend of ancient history, cultural richness, and natural beauty. From the ancient ruins of Diocletian’s Palace to the tranquil beaches of Bačvice and the historic fortress of Klis, there is something for every type of traveller.
Whether you're interested in exploring historical landmarks, enjoying the local Mediterranean atmosphere, or relaxing on the beach, Split is a must-visit destination on the Croatian coast.
