Split, the second-largest city in Croatia, represents a unique blend of ancient history and modern Mediterranean life. The city developed around the monumental palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian, built in the early 4th century, which still forms its historical center. This impressive building, one of the best-preserved Roman palaces in the world, became the nucleus of a medieval city when, in the 7th century, the inhabitants of nearby Salona, fleeing the Avar and Slavic invasions, sought refuge within its walls. During the Middle Ages, Split evolved as an autonomous commune, initially under Byzantine and, from 1420, Venetian rule. During this period, the city became an important commercial and maritime center, serving as an intermediary in trade between the Ottoman Empire and Venice. The city statute from 1312 reflects the developed legal culture and communal self-government. After the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797, Split went through periods of Austrian and French rule. Notably significant changes took place in the early 19th century when the city walls were demolished and the Split Riva was built, today one of the city's symbols. Under Austrian rule in the second half of the 19th century, the city underwent significant modernization, especially after the construction of the railway line in 1877. The 20th century was marked by rapid growth and industrialization, particularly after World War II. The city expanded with new residential areas, and shipbuilding and other industries developed. In 1979, the historic core of Split was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognizing the exceptional value of its cultural and historical heritage. Today, Split is an important economic, university, and tourist center. Its historic center, with Diocletian's Palace at its heart, represents a living monument where history continually intertwines with everyday life. The city is known for its rich cultural heritage, which includes numerous churches, palaces, and museums, as well as its vibrant cultural scene, sporting achievements, and the distinctive Mediterranean mentality of its residents. Split is also the birthplace of many significant historical figures, most notably Marko Marulić, the father of Croatian literature. The city preserves a rich tradition of klapa singing, which is inscribed on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, as well as the Mediterranean way of life, evident in lively markets, outdoor cafes, and evening strolls along the Riva. With around 180,000 inhabitants, Split is today an administrative, economic, and cultural center of Dalmatia. Its port remains one of the most important on the eastern Adriatic coast, connecting the mainland with the Dalmatian islands. The city has successfully developed as a tourist destination, attracting visitors with its unique combination of historical monuments, Mediterranean atmosphere, and modern urban life.
Salona was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia, located on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, near present-day Solin near Split. Originally founded by the Illyrians, it later became an important trading port in contact with the Greeks. After the Romans conquered the area in the 2nd century BC, Salona was granted the status of a Roman colony under the name Colonia Martia Iulia Salona in 48 BC and soon became the administrative, economic and military centre of the region. The city was known for its urban development, strong construction activity and numerous monumental buildings such as walls, forums, amphitheatres, baths, basilicas and aqueducts. The emperor Diocletian was born in Salona, and the proximity of the city was one of the reasons for the construction of his palace in Split. In later centuries, Salona also became an important ecclesiastical centre, and after its destruction by the Avars and Slavs in the 7th century, the surviving population moved to Diocletian's Palace, which began the development of present-day Split
Klis is a settlement and municipality located northeast of Split, known for its fortress that dominates the gorge between the Mosor and Kozjak mountains. The history of Klis dates back to prehistoric times, and due to its strategic position at the crossroads between the coast and the interior, this area has played a key role in military and trade movements throughout the centuries. Numerous armies and rulers have passed through Klis, from the Illyrians and Romans, to Croatian kings, to the Ottomans and Venetians. Today, Klis is best known for its fortress, which is a historical symbol of resistance and one of the most important monuments in the region, but also for its panoramic views of Split and the surrounding area. In addition to its historical heritage, Klis also offers a typical Dalmatian way of life and a rich gastronomic tradition. Klis Fortress stood out on a global scale as the backdrop for the city of Meereen in the popular series "Game of Thrones", where it served as the location of key scenes in the fourth season, including the conquest of the city by Daenerys Targaryen.
