SPLIT:
On the shore where land and sea-routes cross,
where at times the city of Salona flourished,
where in antique times the province Dalmatia
was established, where in the medieval times
the city of Split started to grow. Here from
the 5th – 2nd century BC Greek colonizers constructed
their homes along the coast and the islands,
and the emperor Diocletian had his spacey palace
built in which he moved in 305. Here the city
of Split developed. The uniqueness is especially
found in the local architecture, where only
stone is used for construction, a material the
region is very rich. www.split.hr |
