Enjoy the rare opportunity to view two UNESCO World Heritage sites in one day – the atmospheric city of Trogir and the palace of Roman emperor Diocletian in Split. Protected by medieval walls, Trogir has retained its layout from the Hellenistic period and is a remarkable example of urban continuity. You can’t help but be awed by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque architecture along the winding stone streets and by the 15th-century Kamerlongo Castle looming above. Back in Split, you will explore its Old Town, which the Greeks originally colonized, and Diocletian’s 4th-century palace nearby, which is considered to be the most historically valuable Roman architecture on the Adriatic Sea’s eastern coast. As you travel along the ancient pathways, you will discover just how special it really is. If you opt to visit the cellar, notice how it opened to the sea in Diocletian’s day, allowing noble guests to arrive by ship.
