Split, Klis & Trogir Uncovered – Private Local Experience

The Peristyle is the central ceremonial square of Diocletian’s Palace and one of the most impressive Roman spaces in Split. Surrounded by original Roman columns, it once served as the setting where Emperor Diocletian appeared before his subjects, and today it remains the heart of the old town.

The palace cellars are among the best-preserved ancient complexes of their kind in the world. They once supported the emperor’s private apartments above and today provide a fascinating insight into the original structure and scale of the palace.

Originally built as Diocletian’s mausoleum, the Cathedral of St. Domnius is considered one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals still in use. It is a remarkable blend of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance architecture, reflecting centuries of history.

This monumental statue of Gregory of Nin honors the medieval bishop who fought for the use of the Croatian language in church services. According to local tradition, touching the statue’s big toe brings good luck.

Visit to the impressive medieval Klis Fortress, dramatically positioned above Split with breathtaking panoramic views over the city and surrounding islands. Discover its rich history as a key defensive stronghold and a famous filming location for Game of Thrones.

Located on the main square, St. Sebastian’s Church and its clock tower symbolize Trogir’s medieval urban identity. The clock tower was once essential for regulating daily life in the town.

The Kamerlengo Fortress is a 15th-century coastal fortress built during Venetian rule to protect Trogir from naval attacks. Today, it offers beautiful views over the old town, marina, and nearby islands, and stands as a symbol of Trogir’s strategic and maritime importance.

The Town Loggia was the public meeting place of medieval Trogir, where important decisions were announced and legal matters discussed. It reflects the city’s long tradition of civic life and self-governance.
