Top Split Tour Packages
Split is several centuries old, and it is a perfect encapsulation of Roman history in the modern world. The history of Split dates back to the time when the Roman Emperor Diocletian chose to establish his Palace on a peninsula close to the important Roman city of Salona, where he intended to spend his final years. The Palace steadily evolved into a city over the course of over 1700 years, and it continues to enchant people with its rich tradition, illustrious past, and stunning natural and cultural assets.
