Split [ʃplit] (Croatian Split, Italian Spalato, originated from Greek ἀσπάλαθος, aspálathos) is the second largest city in Croatia. It is the largest city in southern Croatia and is therefore popularly known as the “capital of Dalmatia” without this status ever having been officially granted. The city is the administrative seat of the Split-Dalmatia County (Croatian Splitsko-dalmatinska županija), which includes the central part of Dalmatia. Split had about 167,000 inhabitants in 2011. [2]

Split is an important port city and the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Split-Makarska. There is also a university in Split. The origins of the city can be traced back to Diocletian's Palace. The city center of Split including the Diocletian's Palace was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

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.

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.😏

Explore Split. A vantage point is always a great place to start, if only to get a global overview.
Charming old town with prominent Diocletian's palace, shops, cafes and taverns
