Discover the Ancient Roman Roots and Vibrant Cultural Life of Historic Split in Dalmatia

Split serves as the primary urban, cultural, and transportation hub of the Dalmatian region. The city possesses deep ancient roots that can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and their colony of Aspalathos. Later, the Illyrian tribe known as the Delmatians inhabited the area before the arrival of the Romans. These layers of history have created a complex and fascinating urban fabric that continues to define the city's character and its appeal to modern visitors.

The foundation of the current city is largely attributed to the Roman Emperor Diocletian.
