Cathedral of St. Domnius.

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cathedral of Saint Domnius consists of three distinct sections of different ages. The main part is the Mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian, which dates from the end of the 3rd century. The mausoleum, like the rest of the Palace, was built from high-quality white local limestone and marble, largely sourced from marble quarries on the island of Brač, with tuff stone from the nearby riverbeds of the Jadro and with bricks from other Salonitan factories.

Golden Gate (Zlatna Vrata), Diocletian's Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The name of the Golden Gate in Roman times was Porta septemtrionalis (“northern gate”) and it was probably through this gate that Emperor Diocletian († 316) entered his palace after he had renounced the imperial throne on May 1, 305. In the Middle Ages, the gate was called the “Roman Gate” (Porta Romae).

Diocletian’s Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

Actually, the city only came into being because of the palace. Interesting story about wealth, fear, desperation and courage.

Telegrin Summit Cross and Viewpoint (Marjan Hill)

Highlight • Summit

Marjan Hill's Telegrin summit is a breathtaking viewpoint. After tackling the steps up to the top, you're rewarded with a panorama encompassing Split, its bustling port, the glistening Adriatic and the mighty Mount Mosor. A 43-foot (13 m) flag adorns the summit and there's usually a Croatian flag flapping in the wind.

Unfortunately, the recording of the hike 'dropped out' when I took pictures with my cell phone camera - that's why there's part 1 + part 2!
Unfortunately, the recorded route in the 2nd part does not correspond to the actual route, since the GPS signal probably did not get through the narrow streets of Split.😏
