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).

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.

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.

Fruit Square (Trg Braće Radić)

Highlight • Historical Site

This square, perhaps one of the most beautiful in the city, is less known among locals by its official name – Radić Brothers Square. It owes its popular name “Fruit Square” to the fact that there used to be a colorful, lively fruit market here, where local farmers’ wives sold their fruit. Vegetables were sold in the square next to it, to the west.
Specialty markets are still held here today. The impressive, octagonal Venetian tower, remnants of a fortress from the 15th century, is worth seeing. Opposite the tower stands the magnificent palace of the old Milesi family from the 17th century with a beautiful baroque facade - probably one of the most beautiful examples of this architectural style in all of Dalmatia.
